Raudisandur, or (Red Sand), is precisely that: a beach with red sand. Endless red sand! Well, not endless, but 10 km is a lot. The magnificent hues of the sand differ with daylight and weather, and the beach is the biggest pearl in a string of coves with sand ranging in colors from white through yellow through red to black, and in coarseness from very fine to sole-hurting chips of seashells.

What to do in Raudisandur? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! There is a Cafe but not much else. There’s just pure sand and unique tranquility. You might want to step out of the car, get the camera out and start walking. Forget everything. Except may be getting the perfect shot of the ever-changing hues of yellow, orange and red.
