2 Whitehaven beach Australia
island in Australia which is amongst the Great Barrier Reef and means the water is teeming with life the reason why the sand is so spectacular is because of its extremely high silica content unusually none of the local rocks contain silica so it's thought that all of the sand has been washed in by sea currents over millions of years this has made it take on properties far different from what you might be used to and it's known for its inability to absorb heat so no matter how hot the day is you'll still be able to walk across the beach barefoot without any problems it's so finely ground though that it has a habit of getting everywhere and can cause particular problems for electronic equipment it's rumoured though that the sand is such good quality that was actually used by NASA to produce the glass for the Hubble Space Telescope in the 1970s aerial shots of the bay are stunning and show the way the ocean is pushing the sand up into the cove it's now such an important place for local tourism that rules are in place to help preserve it for years to come while you are allowed to have a barbecue as long as you take all the trash home with you dogs and smoking are expressly banned to prevent the sand from becoming tarnished.
