20 MOST UNUSUAL AND UNIQUE BEACHES IN THE WORLD

Unique beaches you need to visit during your lifetime

Making plans for your vacation is probably the most exciting part, especially when it comes to summer holidays. Seems like we spend the whole year thinking of our next destination, a new place we have never been before.

Lying on the beach, drinking cocktails, sunbathing and having fun is what we usually do. But we never even thought that there are many of them which differ so much from the beaches we are used to. The sand color is the most common characteristic that makes one beach unusual. Pink and purple beaches are colored by coral remnants and garnet deposits scattered in the sea after the erosion. Whereas black and red beaches are generally formed by volcanic remnants-by lava cooling in the sea. Green-colored beaches have got their distinctive color due to the mineral olivine and are the rarest in the world.
