You don't have to go to the Caribbean to enjoy a stroll on a pink sand beach—there's a gorgeous beach right here in America. Pfeiffer Beach in California is a stunning stretch of purple-pink sand that's one of the West Coast's best hidden gems.
Beaches with pink sand are a rarity; there are only a few of them in the world. Luckily, California's Pfeiffer Beach is one of them.

So what makes the sand so colorful here? It acquires its beautiful hue thanks to the pomegranate on the rocks surrounding the beach.
That's right - this beach is decorated with crushed gems.

The shade of the sand here actually fluctuates between purple and pink, depending on the light.
And the color pink is not always noticeable, so seeing it is a special experience.

Since it is located off the main Big Sur road, Pfeiffer Beach is usually pretty deserted.
There are a few picnic areas and a small parking lot, but otherwise it's just you, the sea and the stunning sand.
As you might expect, the sunsets are truly unrealistic here.

The turquoise color of the water perfectly sets off the color of the sand.
