Black Sand Beach — A Volcanic Shore on Lake Superior

Most beaches are pale, a bright ribbon of gold or white against the water. This one is not. Here the sand is dark, almost black, glistening where the waves draw back across it, and the great cold lake beyond stretches away like an inland sea. It is a strange and beautiful shore, and it has a story written in iron and stone. Welcome to Black Sand Beach. Filmed October 2023.
