This beautiful beach just off the coastal town of Quonochontaug is the start of the 75 mile long-distance North South Trail, which takes you from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rhode Island-Massachusetts border. Quonochontaug itself was an iron mining site in the 1880s. Iron particles were found in the black sand beach and extracted using magnets.
