SHANGRALA'S

WORLD'S MOST UNIQUE BEACHES!

Here's Some Amazing Beaches. Enjoy! :) Papakolea Beach, Hawaii, USA Papakolea Beach, or the Green Sand Beach, is a beach made up entirely of green sand and is one of the only two green sand beaches in the world. The other green sand beach is in the Galapagos Islands. The sand gets its unique color from the mineral olivine that results from previous volcanic activity. Indeed, the entire beach is located under a cinder cone, which is a hill of volcanic debris that accumulates around a volcanic vent. The beach is only accessible by climbing the cinder cone. San Alfonso del Mar Beach, Chile This beach is sandwiched in between the largest artificial pool and the largest ocean on the planet. The beach is part of a luxurious resort with the same name. The pool was placed on the beach because the ocean makes for dangerous and freezing swimming for the guests. The pool, of course, is saltwater in order to simulate the feeling of being in the ocean. Maho Beach, Saint Maarten Maho Beach is located on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin in the country of Sint Maarten. It is famous because of the ridiculously close proximity between the Princess Juliana International Airport and the beach. Due to the proximity of the low-flying airliners, the location is popular for plane spotters and it is one of the few places in the world where aircraft can be viewed in their flight path outside of the runway. However, there is a danger that people standing on the beach will be blown into the water from the jet blast of the aircraft.

Ocean Dome, Japan One of the world's more famous beaches, this beach is actually completely artificial! It was constructed by the Seagaia resort along the coastal highway outside the city of Myazaki. It has a fully controlled indoor climate throughout the year and sports a fake flame volcano, artificial sand, palm trees and the world's largest retractable roof. The air temperature is always kept at 30 C (86 F) and the water is about 28 C (82.5 F). The beach can accommodate over 10,000 visitors at once, which seems more than the people that go to real beaches! Plage de Saleccia, France On a beach near St. Florent on the French island of Corsica, cows and beach goers share the sun. This beach of fabulous white sand and clear blue waters is rather isolated, save from the chestnut-colored cattle that rest beside sunbathers. The cows visit the beach all year round and don't take a break in the summer when the beach is full of people. At least there is someone at the beach that will make you feel good in a bathing suit! Pink Sand Beaches, Bermuda No need to do a double take because these outstanding beaches are real! Bermuda is known for its magnificent large and small beaches of light pink sand and turquoise waters. The sand becomes pink when shells and skeletons of coral, clams and forams are pulverized into miniscule pieces. These spectacular beaches are popular for weddings and other memorable events because their scenery will not soon be for forgotten. Playa de Gulpiyuri, Spain Playa de Gulpiyuri is a flooded sinkhole with a small beach near Llanes, Spain. It is only 40 meters (130 feet) in length, but is tidal due to a series of underground tunnels carved by the salt of the nearby Cantabrian Sea. It is a popular tourist destination, natural monument and part of Spain's Protected Natural Areas.
