First, let's start with how beach sand get's it color . . .
Where's Your Favorite Caribbean Island Beach?
Where does white coral sand originate?
Believe it or not, from a colorful green fish! The Parrot fish use their beaks to scrape off coral rock. The fish digest algae and expel the algae as fine white sand. One fish can produce tons of soft white sand each year.
Caribbean White Sand Beaches
Pink Sand is the result of the colorful red shells of tiny sea creatures called "foraminifera". These tiny creatures live beneath rocks and inside caves. Their red shells are broken up by the surf into fine, soft pink colored sand.
Caribbean Pink Sand Beaches
Formed when hot lava flows into the Caribbean Sea,
and breaks into black sand pieces which eventually flows back to the shore. The texture of black sand is course , unlike white sand or pink sand beaches.
Volcanic black sand beaches of the Caribbean's volcanic islands include: St. Lucia, Grenada, Dominica, Nevis, St. Kitts and Montserrat.
