World's Most Unique 5 Strangely Coloured Beaches.....!!!

Unless you're lucky enough to have visited some of the unique shorelines below you'll probably be used to seeing - at best - golden beaches on your travels. In fact a lot of people believe golden sands to be the only option when it comes to beaches. To prove otherwise, and to show off a few of the world's most uniquely coloured stretches of sand, we present the following selection....


1) 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.



2) 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.



3)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.



4)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.



5)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.

Looking for friends to exchange FDC and Maxim Card.

My friend, Deva Kumar from India is looking for friends to exchange maxim card (post card) and First Day Cover (FDC) from all over the world. Below is email from Deva to me for exchange of MAxim card and FDC.


"Dear Izman,

As stated in the below email, I love maxi card on following themes - Wild animals, Birds, Insects, Reptiles, Transportation, Sports. But a mere card is valueless unless it contains an appropriate stamp representing the theme with the right cancellation on it. HENCE I NEED MAXIM CARDS WITH SUITABLE STAMPS & CORRECT POSTAL CANCELLATION.

To tell about myself, I am a Philatelist from Chennai, India and I collect all philatelic items on various themes - First day covers, Special covers, Miniature sheets, Booklets etc. I don't like stamps.

As you are aware a picture is worth thousand words and a Maxi card with appropriate stamp & postmark gives more information about a particular theme.

This fascinated me and triggered the passion to collect Maxim cards on various topics. As I frequently travel due to my busy job schedule, I cannot take photos of the same and scan it across to you. I am sorry for that :(

But, I request you to pass this message to all the known philatelic collectors of your country and I prefer exchange. i can supply Indian items for your foreign cards."
