There is a red beach on the Maui island of Hawaii, maybe for its location is out of the way, people always have the feeling of low profile and some bashfulness on it. The red sand is also the indirect product of the volcanic eruption. The black Magnetite ( main ingredients are ferroferric oxide) in the lava is oxidized and products bolarious iron oxide, and eventually forms the unique red beach and cliff. The red beach is more rarely seen than black beach, expect for the Maui Beach, it can be seen only in the Santorini island of Greece at present.
