Fodor's Expert Review Hác-Sá

Translated from the Chinese, hác-sá means "black sand," although the sands of the area's biggest beach are actually a deep gray. Even if you don't stay at the Grand Coloane Beach Resort, you can use the public sports complex here for a daily fee (MOP$500 adults; MOP$250 children 3–16): it's equipped with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and more. Other facilities include playgrounds, picnic areas, restaurants, barbecue facilities, boat rentals, and water-sports outfitters.
