Blackstone Beach is Aruba’s only black-sand beach, tucked on the northeast coast. Small and rocky, it’s not a swimming spot but is visited for its unusual dark pebbles and the dramatic Seroe Colorado coastline around it.
The black pebbles and volcanic sand create a moody contrast to Aruba’s usually white beaches. Photographers come here for close-up detail shots of the stones, or wide shots with the natural bridge ruins nearby.
