She was on a narrow beach with a black shiny cliff behind her.

The little river had cut its way between two great black basaltic cliffs.

At left and right, the black cliffs fell sheer to the forest edge.

I looked back, up the face of the black cliff.

Two faces moved between himself and the curtain of black cliff.

Turning away from Jaime, she looked up at the black cliff.

At the base of a great black cliff stood the building.

Now these circles began to rise up around them like black cliffs.

The beach tipped until the black cliffs hung over his head.

The name is thought by some to be a reference to the black cliffs south of the village.
