Marble pebbles were on the beach for a reason. Marble Beach owes such a unique curiosity for the island to the existing quarry, in which marble is developed and mined. It is located very close to the beach - closer to the forest, a little further from the water's edge, white dust rises yoke at all. Dust is kicked up by scurrying back and forth technique, transporting blocks of marble. Therefore, at home, upon returning from the beach, you will have to thoroughly wash the car even inside (if you take the car), as white marble dust will penetrate into all cracks.
