‘Popcorn’ Beach, Corralejo, Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura has many beaches covered in fine white sand, but the so-called ‘popcorn’ beaches in the North are almost glaringly white. On closer inspection you see that there is a layer of popcorn-shaped nodules on top of the sand. They are the bleached remains of Rhodoliths – coralline red algae – which get washed up here.
