Sand is probably the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about beach. However, this is not the case with the Panjin Red Beach in China, which is, actually, red, and not covered in sand at all. Such phenomena is caused by a type of sea weed Sueda. It starts growing during April and May, then stays green during the summer, but starts turning vividly red in autumn.
The Red Beach is located in the biggest wetland and reed marsh in the
world, and actually hosts the most completed ecosystem that can be
found: the area has become home to more than 260 kinds of birds and 399
kinds of wild animals. You can find the endangered Crown Cranes and
Black Beaked Gulls there, which is why the area is even called “home of
the cranes”
