White sand, black shadows...

I've never been to a beach with such white sand, shame it wasn't real! Here we were, standing on the beach at the Atlantis hotel water park, Aquaventure on the Palm in Dubai. The Palm is a man made island, and to my amazement, so was this beach. You imagine, this beach is about 1/2 a mile off shore, i only every beach could be this clean and this white!
