12 of the World’s Most Colorful Beaches

Red Sand Beach, Prince Edward Island, Canada
If you think tropical locales have a monopoly on great beaches, you probably haven’t been to Prince Edward Island, Canada. This small but beautiful island is famous for potatoes, Anne of Green Gables, red soil, and rolling sand dunes. Red Sand Shore is a 500-mile stretch of the island where the beaches have a distinctly ruddy hue due to the high levels of oxidized iron left behind by eroded sandstone. If you’re going there to see the Red Sandy Shores to live your dream of being Anne, she actually lived on the opposite side of the island which is known for its white sands. Funny enough, P.E.I is such a small province that Green Gables is just a quick drive away.
