Hac Sa Beach, Natural sand beach in Coloane, China.
Hac Sa Beach is a one-kilometer stretch of sand on Coloane Island, combining black and yellow grains along its entire length. The area offers swimming zones, sports facilities, and restaurants within walking distance.
The beach's name comes from dark minerals found in the seabed in earlier times. Yellow sand was later added to the existing beach to prevent further erosion and strengthen the shoreline.
People use the barbecue areas throughout the day for gatherings and meals by the water. The beach serves as a meeting place where locals enjoy outdoor activities and social time together.
The beach is easily accessible by public buses that stop nearby, making arrival straightforward for most visitors. Changing rooms, showers, and lifeguard stations are available throughout the swimming area.
A freshwater stream crosses through the beach, flowing from an inland reservoir to the sea. This creates an unusual mixing zone where fresh and salt water meet along the shoreline.
