42. Alaska: Black Sand Beach
Accessible only via boat, kayak, or floatplane, this Prince William Sound beach offers an extreme and unforgettable coastal experience. The shoreline is made of jet-black volcanic sand, which stands in stark visual contrast to the massive, bright blue icebergs that frequently wash onshore. Visitors can walk among the grounded ice chunks while listening to the cracking and booming of cascading glaciers in the distance. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and local wildlife like harbor seals, it is a wildly dramatic, cold-weather beach adventure.
