Dark sand beach with palm trees and turquoise water at Playa Negra, Puerto Viejo24Easy

Playa Negra

Trip from Blessed House to Playa Negra, Limón, Costa Rica. A striking destination famous for its unique dark volcanic sand, fine textures, and high iron content. This striking sand is created through a natural geological process where volcanic rocks and dark lava are broken down over thousands of years by weathering and the crashing power of waves, releasing dense iron-bearing minerals like magnetite that ocean currents naturally concentrate along the shoreline. As documented in geological surveys by researchers at the University of Costa Rica, this high iron concentration is why the sand can actually react to magnets.
