Pfeiffer Beach, California
Pfeiffer Beach, located in California’s Big Sur region, has stunning purple sand, due to quartz and manganese garnet deposits that come down from the mountains. While traces of purple can almost always be seen, it becomes more visible after a storm with heavy rains. And if the purple sand isn’t gorgeous enough, the beach is dotted with tide pools and has several natural arches that make for great photo ops.
