I felt like my eyes were deceiving me when I was looking at this scene. Not just because it was extraordinarily beautiful, but how does turquoise water exist on top of dark red sand? Isn’t water clear for the most part, and the color we see from it comes from sky reflection or from the beach color under the water? In this case, neither was anything close to turquoise so…??!?!

I’ve seen azure ocean water before, but in every case (except this one), the sand beneath it was white.
