Pink Beach? Singing Rocks?

Singing rocks? Pink beach? IONA’S BEACH North Shore! Instead of silky, golden sand, this stretch of shore is covered in smooth pink rocks and I guess (I did not hear it) if you know when to listen, the rock sing! Supposedly, the waves come in and disturb the rocks. When the stones resettle, they tinkle like millions of little bells. It’s a soft sound, so you have to stand fairly still and be quiet to hear it. Let me know!?!? But even if Lake Superior is calm and the air is silent, the place somehow feels oddly strange. The pink rocks, which formed from fallen pieces of a nearby rhyolite cliff, are an eye-catching sight. The stones, worn and weathered by years of erosion, are all wonderfully smooth to the touch. The beach was named after Iona Lind, who owned the resort that once stood on the spot where the beach’s parking area now is. This beach is a Scientific & Natural Area, which means it is not allowed to collect rocks, plants, animals, rocks, and fossils.
