Tilmati Beach

Tilmati Beach Tilmati or the Black Sand Beach is located in Majali village, 10 km away from Karwar, bordering Goa. This stretch of black sand, spread over 200 metres.

The uniqueness of this little-known Beach lies in the black colour of its sand. This stretch of black sand, spread over 200 metres, is said to be formed when the waves hit the basaltic rocks that are concentrated in this area. It is also believed that the Arabian Sea dumps the fine black sand brought by River Kali to this place. It is very rare to find such black grains concentrated only at one pa

rticular place. Majali Beach and Polem Beach that are adjacent to this beach have normal white sand. The sand here resembles black sesame. When translated into Konkani, which is one of the prominent languages in the region, sesame becomes til and sand becomes mati, thus coining the name ‘Tilmati’.
