5 Strangest Beaches of the World

5 Strangest Beaches of the World

Punalu'u Beach

Punalu'u Beach is the most visited of the few black sand beaches on Hawaii's Big Island and the stunningly black sand is actually volcanic rock, deposited as lava and subsequently cooled when met by the ocean. Apparently to take any of the sand home would result in you being cursed by a volcano goddess by the name of Pele.

 

Papakolea Beach

One of only 2 green sand beaches in the world, the truly magnificent sight of Papakolea Beach can be experienced by travelling to Hawaii's Ka'u district. Again, the unique colour of its sand can be attributed to volcanic activity - specifically, the green hue belongs to the abundance of olivine crystals which have been produced as a result of a nearby cinder cone erupting and eroding.

 

 

 

Hyams Beach

You may need to wear your shades when visiting Hyams Beach in New South Wales, Australia, but not just due to the sun. It's not surprising after looking at photos but this sublime stretch of beach is home to the whitest sand in the world, an honour awarded by the Guinness Book of Records

 

 

Pfeiffer Beach

The hills surrounding Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California, are rich in Manganese Garnet. A result of this being washed down onto the beach is the colour scheme you can see above - the entire stretch of sand has become a shifting, pink and purple canvas. Although it's probably inedible, I can't help picturing a bowl of Raspberry Ripple ice-cream every time I see it.

 

 

 

Kaihalulu

You won't find many beaches elsewhere in the world with sand as red as this one. Kaihalulu, or Red Sand Beach, is situated on the island of Maui and can thank the neighbouring cindercone hill for its intensely deep red appearance.

Just Look At Them And Tell - Isn't It True!

Things You Shouldn't Find in Your Garden

Oca

Also known as the Oxalis Tuberosa or the New Zealand Yam, this is a popular alternative to the potato.

It originates from the central and southern Andes and became popular due to its easy cultivation, with a high tolerance for poor soil, high altitude and harsh climates. There are many variations of the Oca grown around the world, with an array of colours and flavours being created through human intervention during cultivation.

Romanesco

This is probably one of the most interesting looking vegetables, with its intricate spiral patterns made up of many buds, alternating in size. It originates from Italy and can also be called Romanesco Broccoli or Roman Cauliflower, as it is part of the same edible flower family as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Cabbage.

Kohlrabi

This vegetable is another new variation of the Cabbage family, with the name Kohlrabi translating to Turnip Cabbage.

Celeriac

Sometimes called stump-rooted celery, turnip-rooted celery or knob celery, this root vegetable is a variety of celery that is cultivated for its large edible spherical roots, leaves and stems.

Sunchoke

These are often referred to as Jerusalem Artichokes, even though they have no association with Jerusalem, or any relation to Artichokes. It is believed that the name derives from the Italian word for sunflower; Girasole, as the plant resembles a garden sunflower and belongs to the same plant group.

Manioc

Cassava and Yuca are the two most common names given for this root vegetable. It originates from South America, but is now widely grown across Africa and Asia due to its drought resistance.

Yard-long beans

Although the name indicates that these green beans will grow to a yard long, they will rarely grow to more than 75cm in length. They can also be called Asparagus Beans, Chinese Long Beans or Snake beans and the pods will grow in pairs.

Nopales

This is the paddle shaped leaves on the cactus plant known as Opuntia, which is native to Mexico, but is also grown in many parts of America and the Mediterranean.
