This Remarkable Beach in The Canary Islands Has Popcorn Sand

October 23, 2025

This remarkable beach in the Canary Islands has ‘sand’ that looks entirely like popped popcorn.

Actually a result of fragmented white coral that has washed ashore, the sight is still remarkable to see. And it makes for really fun photography.

The beach’s unique composition make it a favorite for locals and travelers alike.
