Great beaches often have white sand. People like white sand because it’s very fine grained — which makes it soft — and water seems to sparkle when viewed next to it.
There are many places around the world where you can find white sand beaches some of which include Florida, Australia, Barbados in the Caribbean, and the Philippines.
