Dumas Beach, situated 21 kilometers southwest of Surat city in the Indian state of Gujarat, is renowned for its striking black sand and mystical surroundings. As an urban beach along the Arabian Sea, it has long been a popular destination for locals and tourists seeking to escape the bustling city life for a tranquil seaside experience. The dark hue of the sand here is attributed to the high iron content, which has also given rise to various legends and myths about the beach's past, including tales of paranormal activity. The beach is lined with local food stalls where visitors can savor traditional Gujarati snacks like bhajiya while enjoying the sea breeze. Many come here to enjoy morning walks, witness breathtaking sunsets, and listen to the waves crashing against the shore. The beach is also a hub for fitness enthusiasts who can be seen jogging, practicing yoga, or playing beach sports. Though serene during the day, it is recommended for visitors to be cautious and avoid late nights at the beach due to its infamous reputation as one of India's haunted locales.

Beach with black sand a perfect sunset view
