Dumas beach is an urban beach located along the Arabian Sea, at a distance of 21 km southwest of the Surat city. This black sand beach has been widely popular due to the reports of disappearances and paranormal activities here. It is also known as one of the most haunted places in India.
Away from the city, Dumas Beach is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Surat. The characteristic feature of the beach that sets it apart is that the sand is unlike most of the beaches you’ll find in India. Due to high iron concentration, the sand takes an almost eerie black colour, which is a probable reason why there are some haunted stories about Dumas Beach. Many people claim to have heard stories of hauntings, but locals beg to differ, labelling it as a narrow understanding of the city and its culture. Dumas Beach is found deserted a lot of times and is perfect for a quiet walk along the coast.
