Pfeiffer Beach, CA

A beach with purple sand, can you beat that? If you're in Bug Sur, don't miss Pfeiffer Beach, which has just such a thing. I hear it's best to go after a big storm. The purple sand comes from magnesium garnet deposits from the hillside (there are visible purple streaks in the rocks) or just offshore, I've read differing accounts. Anyway, it's pretty cool.
