The black beach of Nonza, Corsica, France
This beach lies north of the village perched on its cliffs and appears black from there. It is in fact made up of green/grey pebbles, many of which are tinted black from asbestos waste, a result of the asbestos mining that previously took place near here. Locals use the beach (which is usually deserted due to its appearance). There are 600 steps leading down to the beach from the village but it is easier to drive to the far end of the beach.
