Iran’s Red Beach just put on a breathtaking show, turning blood-red during heavy rain. A viral video captured the moment as rain carried iron-rich soil into the sea, creating an eerie yet mesmerising effect. Located on Hormuz Island, also called the Rainbow Island, this beach is famous for its striking colours and mineral-rich sands. The phenomenon happens due to high iron oxide content in the soil, which gives the water its dramatic red hue.
