Crosby Beach in Liverpool
You will not be able to swim on this beach, because the tides change and there is also quicksand, which makes it a dangerous place. But this is not what attracts so many tourists year after year, but the fact that it has become a work of art.
Yes, as you have heard, this beach served as an exhibition for the artwork 'Another Place' by international artist Antony Gormley. It was only going to be for a few months, but the locals liked it so much that they asked that the statues stay, and so on until today, getting a new tourist attraction. These iron statues were made based on the artist himself, and each weighs 650 kilos. Also, they are all looking at the sea, creating a strange postcard and very different scenes depending on the tide.
The seaside town of Crosby is 11 kilometers from Liverpool. There is even 100 iron figures on the coast, along 3 kilometers and going up to a kilometer into the sea. We can take a nice walk along the coast and take some amazing photos.
Hidden Beach in Mexico
This is an incredible hidden beach, as its name indicates, located in the Marietas Islands, in the State of Nayarit. It has been proclaimed as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This beach is located east of Puerto Vallarta, on the islands of volcanic origin. Although this origin probably has nothing to do with the hole we see on the beach.
These islands were not inhabited, and at the beginning of the last century the government used them to make military tests. It is believed that this huge hole is due to a bomb explosion, and not to natural causes, but the truth is that it has given rise to one of the most peculiar beaches that exist, and also the most hidden. It can only be reached by boat through a lake that enters a cave from the sea. But it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable and unique experience.
Scala dei Turchi in Sicily
This is not a normal beach, no. In fact, it lacks sand, at least in its most famous part, since around you can find soft sand beaches. We are talking about Scala dei Turchi or Staircase of the Turks, a famous place located in the town of Realmonte, 18 kilometers from Agrigento in Sicily. This cliff is very peculiar due to its whitish color, and it is made up of limestone and sedimentary loam stone. It has been sculpted by the sea, the wind and the rain to form long stairways from which you can comfortably sunbathe.
This cliff It is in the middle of several beaches, and you have to go through it to get to them. They are beaches with crystalline waters, typical of the Mediterranean, and with fine sand. The name of the area is due to the fact that the Arab and Saracen pirates sheltered themselves here from bad weather. If you want to visit other beaches, you have Le Pergole or Punta Grande.
Hoshizuna no hama in Okinawa
Hoshizuma no Hama is a beach that is very far away, but it is really interesting, since it means the 'star sand beach', because it literally is that. Its sand is not sand, but rather the exoskeletons of the Baclogypsina sphaerulata organism, which live in seagrass beds and measure only one millimeter, hence we have to look at the sand very closely to see these tiny stars.
This beach is located in the north of the island of Iriomote, in Okinawa prefecture, in Japan, and it is totally unique. There is no other beach whose sand is actually a group of exoskeletons of organisms so small that they are hardly visible.
Moeraki Beach in New Zealand
We are now going to New Zealand, to the moeraki beach, in which we can find some really peculiar rocks. They are boulders that seem created on purpose with that round shape, as if they were dinosaur eggs deposited there. It is located in the town of Oamaru, and these rocks were created millions of years ago.
The formation process is like that of an oyster apparently. Around a fossil or a shell are superimposed layers and layers of sediment to form these rocks. Who knows what these mysterious rocks hold.
