Spectacular Rainbow Beaches with the World's Most Colorful Sand

We are always stunned and appreciate seeing the diversity in nature, for example, the colorful sandy shorelines that nature painted from a palette of rainbow-like shades. These one of a kind colored shorelines are found all around the globe and come in varying sandy shades of red, orange, pink, green, purple, black and rainbow.

Red Sands Shore, Prince Edward Island, Canada

There's a lot of red to be found at the relevantly named Red Sands Shore on Prince Edward Island. There are red cliffs, red clay streets, and, obviously, the red sand. All make for to great vibrant photograph opportunities.

Porto Ferro, Sardinia, Italy

Limestone, volcanic deposits, and compressed shells combine to make Porto Ferro's sand an extraordinary orange color. The greater part of that orange is surrounded by a backdrop of green trees, which differentiates the color to make it pop much more.

Papakolea Beach, Big Island, Hawaii

This beach's sand is really made using a semiprecious volcanic stone called olivine. The stones are eroded and pulverized by the sea, which makes the sand this stunning green color.

Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas

This Bahamian shoreline is lovely in pink. Pulverized red shells blend with white sand to

Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur, California

Garnet and heavy minerals give this sand a profound purple tone on parts of the shoreline. If you need to see the wonder at its most brilliant, come after a heavy downpour.

Vik Beach, Vik, Iceland

Vik Beach's deep dark shaded sand was made by hot magma from the Katla volcano streaming into the sea. Once the hot magma hit the frosty water the magma shattered and transformed into the dark sand that you see here today.

Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Australia

Here in Rainbow Beach, erosion from the surrounding sand cliffs has brought about 72 distinct shades of sand. The shades originate from the cliffs' rich mineral substance.
