Looking at these beaches, no one dares to call rest on the seashore a banal pleasure for the most lazy. Among the participants in our ten today there is a suitable corner for fans of extraordinary relaxation and just lovers of natural beauty.

Today we bring to your attention the most unusual beaches in the world. Although some of them are far from the usual tourist routes, the cost of the trip will certainly pay off with a mass of vivid impressions. You have never had such a beach holiday!

  • 10. Cow Beach, India, Goa
  • 9. Pink Sands Beach, Bahamas, Harbor Island
  • 8. Hot Water Beach, New Zealand
  • 7. Glass Beach (USA), California
  • 6. Chandipur, India
  • 5. Papakoli (Papakolea-Beach), Hawaii
  • 4. Barking Sands Beach, Hawaii
  • 3. Red Beach, Greece, Santorini
  • 2. Bowling Balls, USA, California
  • 1. Vik Beach, Iceland

10. Cow Beach, India, Goa

A cow in India is a sacred animal, and therefore has the right to bask in the sand at the water's edge. It is clear that the sanitary conditions on the beach are far from ideal, but cattle attract many tourists here. Such a neighborhood is not found anywhere else in the world.

9. Pink Sands Beach, Bahamas, Harbor Island

In the world there are more than 10 pink beaches. The unusual pink shade of the sand of this secluded beach is due to the tiny marine inhabitants - coral mollusks and foraminifera. Their pink shells, mixed with sand, give the beach a very romantic look. The length of the coastal strip is pale pink - about 8 km. Walking here for several hours, you can not meet a soul - a real paradise for romantics.

8. Hot Water Beach, New Zealand

Here warm underground springs with thermal water come to the surface. You can dig your own mini-pool directly in the sand and enjoy a pleasant and useful bathing procedure. By the way, ocean water is rather cool in comparison with sources, therefore, contrast baths can be included in the number of procedures.

7. Glass Beach (USA), California

Fine pebbles on this California beach are mixed with polished glass fragments. Glass Beach owes its appearance to a city dump. Over the years, garbage was brought here, including glass items and bottles. Over time, the landfill was removed, but the surf managed to polish enough “sea stones” from broken glass so that the beach strip could sparkle and shimmer in the sunshine, attracting tourists from all over the world.

6. Chandipur, India

This unusual Indian beach is located in the village of the same name on the shore of the Bay of Bengal. During high tide, the beach strip increases by as much as 5 km. All secrets and secrets of the seabed can be studied for several hours. Swimming is only possible at high tide.

5. Papakoli (Papakolea-Beach), Hawaii

From a distance, the sand here seems green, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be golden. The reason is the smallest crystals of chrysolite, which got here as a result of volcanic activity. By the way, natives call chrysolite "Hawaiian diamond", considering it the most valuable among the minerals found on the archipelago.

4. Barking Sands Beach, Hawaii

Walking along this Hawaiian beach, vacationers hear a sound resembling a dog barking. You should not be afraid - in fact, it is the creaking of quartz sand under your feet. By the way, Barking Sands is famous not only for unusual acoustic effects, but also for colorful landscapes stretching for 27 km.

3. Red Beach, Greece, Santorini

The bright red sand of this beach is of volcanic origin. The red beach is considered a visiting card of the island, and its image is invariably found on postcards and covers of guidebooks. It is noteworthy that the local sand never gets hot under the sun, but walking on it is still quite uncomfortable due to the sharp edges and rather large size of the grains of sand, comparable rather to small pebbles. By the way, in Santorini there is such a variety of colorful beaches that you will not find anywhere else in the world. In addition to red, there are black and white beaches.

2. Bowling Balls, USA, California

Huge rounded stones really resemble gigantic bowling balls. These boulders have been polished by the surf for hundreds of years. The beach is surrounded by cliffs, consisting of a rather soft rock, which is washed away by the sea, supplying it with new “blanks” for making bowling balls.

1. Vik Beach, Iceland

The beach, located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, makes an indelible impression due to the completely black sand. Sand has such an unusual color because it consists of basalt, a rock that is present in Iceland at every step. Black basalt cliffs are visible not far from the beach, and the rumble of ocean waves and piercing wind complement the atmosphere of this harsh, but very beautiful place.
