Located in the Liahe River Delta, this unique beach is a vibrant red colour caused by a type of plant called Suaeda Vera. If you are wanting to see this red beach for yourself you will need to visit in the autumn when the plant has matured creating this stunning red landscape. (source)
3. Jokulsarlon, Iceland
This beach is an incredible sight. With black volcanic sand and chunks of ice scattered along the shore from nearby glaciers, this beach is one of a kind.
