Most Unique Beaches in the World

 1).  Pink Sand Beach, Bahamas

Have you ever seen a beach drenched in a rosy hue? The picture-perfect pink beach stretches for approximately 5 km along the eastern coast of Harbour Island in the Bahamas. The beach is strewn with washed-up coral fragments, broken shells, and tiny sea animals. The pink glow is caused by the remains of microscopic insects called foraminifera, which live on coral reefs. When they die, their crushed shells wash up on the beach, giving the sand a pink color. Pink Sands Beach attracts wealthy vacationers due to its turquoise waters, elegant resorts, lush vegetation, and picturesque surroundings. Snorkeling and other aquatic adventures can be enjoyed at the scenic beach. You can find another pink beach at Elafonissi in Crete where the pink shade is created from tons of crushed shells.

How to get there?
North Eleuthera Airport is the closest to Pink Sands Beach. Visitors can fly to the North Eleuthera Airstrip from Nassau, Bahamas, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami.  From this small airport, one can take a taxi to the ferry dock and then board a boat to the Harbour Island.  The car and ferry journey will take roughly thirty minutes. Tourists can also board a ferry to Harbour Island from the nearby city of Nassau (3 hours one-way) to make their way to Pink Sands Beach.

 2).  Glass Beach, California

The unique Glass Beach is located in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg in California. This glossy beach, formerly a landfill, has been formed by pieces of degraded glass, discarded appliances, and garbage that local residents dumped over the cliff into the ocean below for decades. That ritual was discontinued in the 1960s, and clean-up campaigns were held to reduce the size and volume of garbage. The rough edges of the remaining broken glasses were eventually pounded by the Pacific waves, transforming them into small, smooth, colorful pebbles.

The beach is now littered with a kaleidoscope of multicolored trinkets that add vibrancy to the shores. Although there isn’t as much sea glass around as there used to be, you can still see the sparkle among the fine, white sand. As tempted as you may be to pick up the miniature gems, remember that removing the washed-up treasure is illegal. It is completely safe to swim at Glass Beach, which receives thousands of visitors each day.
