Destin, Florida. November 2022

We are, once again thanks to the grace of GOD, spending November domiciled in paradise. Beautiful weather and FRESH seafood.
The complex we are staying in is at the top center of this photo, along the "Emerald Coast Highway".
I have a stupid question I cannot answer- maybe you can help?
The sand here is made of quartz and is the color of sugar, or maybe snow. (In fact they use "snow fences" to control the sand blowing in the wind just like snow is controlled in the North.)
The sand is PURE WHITE. So why, walking barefoot in this condo, do the soles of our feet turn black?
It's a puzzle.

Enjoy the beach time!

The black reflects the envy of the rest of us stuck in colder and less picturesque climes

Per goggle it dead insects. Millions of them. Happens from Maine to Florida. Probably all beaches to some extent. Interesting pic of the dead bug in one article. Apparently sometimes stain is hard to remove.
