Hac Sa Beach

Hac Sa Beach

Hac Sa Beach (zh-t|t=黑沙海灘; Portuguese: "Baía de Hác Sá"; literally "Black Sand Bay") is the largest natural beach in the former Portuguese colony of Macau, now a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.

It is on the southeast side of Coloane. As its Chinese name implied, Hac Sa Beach is famous for its black sand. However, to prevent the beach from disappearing due to erosion, the government "refilled" the beach with yellow sand.
