Black Rocks
Black rock formations on the northeast coast, created when volcanic lava flowed into the sea and cooled. Atlantic waves crash against them, making them a scenic stop on island tours.
The Black Rocks are a cluster of black stone formed when lava from ancient eruptions of Mount Liamuiga flowed into the sea and cooled. They contrast sharply with the deep blue water and white surf. Small stalls by the parking area sell handicrafts. The site is usually a stop on island tours or scenic railway trips. Plan to spend 15 to 20 minutes there, and keep away from the rocks, as the waves are strong.
