Inside California's Pfeiffer Beach, only beach with purple sand

By True Scoop

Pfeiffer Beach is found on the Californian coastline the Big Sur.

Pfeiffer Beach draws visitors from all over the world due to its bizarre colouring.

The reason for Pfeiffer Beach's purple colour is still a bit of a geological mystery.

It's believed to come from manganese garnet particles washed down from the hills and cliffs that surround the shoreline.

However, it isn't just famous for its purple sands.

It also offers a secluded and relaxing experience that's hard to find on more touristy beaches in California.

It's particular popular among photographers and selfie-lovers when the sun sets, as the light filters through the hole.
