The array of viral videos depicting this phenomenon has generated a diverse range of reactions on social media, with users sharing their thoughts on the remarkable sight.
Situated on Rainbow Island in the Strait of Hormuz, this beach is a well-known tourist attraction in Iran, famed for its naturally red soil, rich in iron and various minerals.
This unusual phenomenon is a year-round wonder along the coast, attributed to the high levels of iron oxide present in the volcanic soil. When combined with the powerful surf, these minerals create a striking red coloration along the shoreline, resembling the aftermath of a massive spill of red paint.
Rather than causing concern, this stunning display draws travelers from around the world who are eager to witness the enchanting “blood-raining” beach for themselves.
