Seasonal rains change the color of Iran’s Hormuz beach to dark crimson
Seasonal rains on Iran’s Hormuz Island have washed iron-rich soil from its famous red beach into the sea, turning the coastline a dark crimson color.
High concentrations of iron oxide in the soil give the island and its cliffs their bright red sand color.
The island is considered arid, with rainfall typically limited to the winter and early spring, making these breathtaking scenes rare and fleeting.
