Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia The sand on this beach is made almost entirely of quartz making it one of the whitest sand beaches in the world. It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the whitest sand of any beach in the world!

Amalfi Coast, South of Naples, Italy

Jurassic Coast, Dorset, United Kingdom

Kaihalulu Beach, Ulupalakaua, Maui, Hawaii This beach is found tucked into a tiny pocket cove near Hana Bay. It is one of very few red beaches in the world, the sand gets its red-black color from the iron-rich crumbling cinder cone hill surrounds the bay.

Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur, California When the manganese garnet from the hills surrounding Pfeiffer Beach get washes down to the ocean they turn the sand into a vivid purple color. The further north you go, the more purplish the sand becomes.

Ireland

Phang Nga Bay, Phuket, Thailand

Black Sand Beach, California This is the result of volcanic activity near a coastline. Black beaches are created when particles weathered from cooled lava wash down to shore.

Milford Sound, New Zealand
