Menurut cerita dongeng, pasir pantai ini asalnya berwarna putih, tetapi akibat perbuatan seorang nelayan yang memungkiri janji pada seekor ikan duyung, disumpah menjadi warna hitam menandakan kemarahan ikan duyung maka pasir pantai ini tersebut.

Pasir pantai ini berwarna hitam disebabkan campuran mineral dan komposisi tanah yang terdapat di pantai ini iaitu campuran granit dengan deposit lurmalin, ilmenit dan zircon

The Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok, is the entrance for the cable-car ride, which takes visitors all the way up to Mount Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak. Entering the village and passing through the pleasant oriental garden and souvenir shops, visitors make their payment at a counter before stepping onto an escalator which brings them to the cable-car pedestal.

The Pulau Dayang Bunting is known to be the second largest island of the Langkawi archipelago. The island, about 18 kms from Kuah Town, is located on the southwest of Langkawi Island, next to Pulau Tuba. It is easily accessible from Kuah Jetty or Pantai Cenang. The island owes its name to Tasik Dayang Bunting (literally means Lake of the Pregnant Maiden), which is the largest lake of Langkawi. The lake together with the island is shrouded in a legend.

The legend of Mambang Sari and Mat Teja's ill-fated love story looms over the psyche. This story takes the visitors back into the world of nymphs and genies. It states that the fairy princess fell in love with a mortal prince and married him. The princess conceived a child soon after, but lost the child just after birth. It is said that the anguished mother chose the lake to bury her child. As she buried the child in the water, he turned into a white crocodile.

Mambang Sari, who overflowed with maternal affection and distressed at such a fortuity, blessed the waters that any woman, who is unable to conceive, will be rewarded with a child if she drank the water from the lake. It is believed that the same crocodile guards the lake till date, and appears only to those people who're pure at heart. The lake is set in the middle of the island and is surrounded with tropical rainforests.

The silhouette of the lake appears as if a pregnant woman is lying down on her back.
