We’ve seen many beaches with the most beautiful sand in the world but this particular place is not just breathtaking but also unique.

Located in Corralejo, a town on the Canary island of Fuerteventura, there’s a coastline that looks like it’s paved with popcorn and the internet is loving it.

Popcorn Beach, or Popcorn Bay, looks like any other beach on the Spanish island from afar, but looking closely, you will see millions of popcorn pieces covering the surface. The unusual fragments are actually white coral that have washed ashore, and are combined with the volcanic rocks and sand on the beach.

This phenomenon is not new to the area but Popcorn Beach recently became famous on Instagram thanks to people who are posting pictures of themselves with the limitless supply of “popcorn.” Some are playfully throwing them into the air, some are pretending to eat it and others are just simply taking good snapshots to share.
