Mother nature in Malaysia sure does love black. We have the Langkawi black sand beach, and now black stone beach in Kuantan. I wish we have black sea somewhere in Malaysia because that would be awesome. Just like the name itself, this beach is full of black pebble stone that is scattered across the beach. It a great place for those who love to take a selfie or wefie. Snap from the right angle and it will look like you’re on vacation in a foreign country.
