Pfeiffer Beach, United States
From series “Top 15 Most Romantic Beaches on Earth”
Located on the territory of the State of California, Pfeiffer Beach, is more known to general public under the unofficial name of Rainbow Beach. The main feature of this beach is multi-colored sand, which can take shades from caramel, to saturated violet. The unusual colour of sand is due to the high content of manganese in it, which, when interacting with water, creates patterns on a sandy surface of incredible beauty.
Rest on the sandy coast of lavender colour is one of the most romantic events that you can imagine. Pfeiffer Beach is safely hidden behind a chain of precipitous rocks. The way to it will not be the easiest and not the fastest one. Many experienced tourists rush to the beach in the afternoon to meet the sunset on the coast. The setting sun against the background of purple sand looks just amazing. You can make a lot of spectacular memorable photos.
