Some of the most colourful beaches around the world have been revealed as the beautiful pictures are captured by lastminute.com.

The holiday provider has rounded up some of the most unusual holiday destinations that boast a symphony of colours.

From glittering waters to violet sunset, where are the more colourful beaches found in the world?

Pink Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas

The distinctive pink sands of Pink Beach make it one of the most unique and picturesque locations in the world.

Found on the Eastern side of the island, the colour is created from the microscopic coral insects which have a light pink shell.

Mudhoo, Vaadhoo and Rangali, Maldives

Often seen as one of the most beautiful destinations in the world and frequented by honeymooners, the Maldives is home to a beautiful natural event.

A chemical reaction between phytoplankton in the water and the sea means the water appears to glitter as they glow a deep blue.

Visiting the shores after sunset guarantees a look at the mystical sight.

Puerto Naos, La Palma, Spain

Forget white sandy beaches and head to Spain for a jet black sand beach.

Found on the Canary Islands, the 600-metre beach features the dark sands thanks to the volcanic origin of the island.

Punaluu Black Sand Beach, Hawaii, USA

Nestled amongst volcanos, the bright red sand of Punaluu Black Sand Beach makes for a different beach experience.

The surreal blue sea contrasts against the red rock cliffs, which supplies the beach with the rich coloured sands.

Pfeiffer Beach, California, USA

It isn’t just multicoloured sands to make some of the destinations some of the most colourful.

A sunset at Pfeiffer Beach in California lights up the skies in rich violets and pinks which bounce off the crystals and appear to light up.

Even better, the beach has an element of privacy due to not being signposted on Highway 1, making it an untouched secret.

Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Made of up 99 per cent quartz, the white sand is found next to the green hills and clear blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Shell Beach, Australia

Another beautiful beach found in Australia is home to one of only two shell beaches in the world.

Found in the UNESCO World Heritage Shark Bay, the small shells reflect the sun and appear to shine bright white.

Ramla Bay, Malta

Despite other beaches showing off white, black, pink and white sand, Ramla Bay in Malta has another colour of its own with its deep gold sand.

The sequel to the underappreciated Wii U shooter is a very Nintendo affair, replacing bullets and grenades with paint guns and ink bombs.

Splatoon returns with new maps and weapons, a brand new wave-based survival mode called Salmon Run and the classic Turf War competition where the aim is to cover arenas with as much paint as possible.

That’s on top of a more in-depth story mode that’s packed with new moves and techniques, bigger bosses and even more objectives.

With a few weeks of game time under our belt, an unsuccesful Splatfest (we like Ketchup best) and a bit of time with the SplatNet2 mobile service, now seems like a good time to bring you our Splatoon 2 review.

So check out the gallery below for what we liked and disliked about Splatoon 2…

There’s certainly lots to like about Splatoon 2, which apart from being more colourful and vibrant than your average shooter, is also much more unique.

The Turf War game mode is still enormously entertaining, and something that can be picked up and played by anybody. You don’t have to worry too much about your aim or kill/death ratio, just shoot paint at anything that isn’t already covered by your team colours.

With tons of unlockables and plenty of customisation options, Splatoon 2 gives fans lots of reasons to keep coming back, which is also true of those regular Splatfest events, where you battle for the honour of cakes, ice cream, cats and dogs.

The new and improved single-player mode is genuinely worth playing this time around – it’s a useful way of learning tricks, for starters – but it’s the surprisingly challenging wave-based survival mode that’s the real star.

Salmon Run is a fiendishly difficult game mode that tasks teams with defeating waves of enemies and collecting Power Eggs. It’s hugely satisfying when you complete your objectives as a team, and the main reason to pick the sequel up if you already owned the original Splatoon.

But Splatoon 2 isn’t without faults, especially when it comes to its online infrastructure.

Only having a couple of maps on rotation at any given times feels stingy, which isn’t helped by the overall sense that Splatoon 2 – like its predecessor – is just a bit light on content.

But the biggest problem is arguably the in-game chat limitations. Players must download a companion app to talk with teammates – and you’re going to need to in Salmon Run – and then use a cumbersome headset and splitter.

Fortunately, Splatoon 2 is simple enough and entertaining enough to survive these problems, although a steady stream of updates will be necessary to keep fans hooked for the long haul.

Splatoon 2 is another entertaining exclusive for a Nintendo Switch console that’s getting more appealing by the month, and absolutely essential if you missed the original.

Golden Gate Bridge, San FranciscoGETTY

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Back in 1967, California was at the centre of the Summer of Love, spreading peace and positive vibes from San Francisco to the rest of the world. Fast forward to 2017 – 50 years on from the ground-breaking counter-culture movement – and I found the love still alive and well on a tour of this chilled-out and friendly state. 

I started my tour in Santa Cruz, where, on a walk downtown, I spotted people in tie-dye tops listening to live music echoing along the streets. I browsed the fresh fruit and veg stalls at the Santa Cruz Farmers’ Market, snacking on the sweetest strawberries I’d ever tasted.  

Santa Cruz County has a lot to offer, so if you want to see it all it’s best to get behind the wheel. After a brief  lesson in automatic left-hand drive, I cruised away from Beach Boardwalk, a corndog in hand, towards towering trees at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. 

En route through the Redwood Loop Trail, you can’t miss the giant Fremont Tree – it’s around 1,000 years old and its hollow base makes for great photo opportunities. During my visit, I had a bite to eat at the beautiful Laili restaurant and Capitola’s infamous Shadowbrook, too.

Laili serves delicious Mediterranean and Afghan fare, while Shadowbrook has a plate for every palate (the creamy mac and cheese with steak was amazing). 

Another foodie highlight of my trip was the brilliant Solaire Restaurant + Bar at Hotel Paradox, where I was staying.

Luckily, there are plenty of watersports to keep the pounds off in Santa Cruz, and I signed up for a morning of paddleboarding.

My instructor, Trudie Ransom, at the SUP Shack, had me standing tall – albeit with shaking legs – in seconds. Nearby Kayak Connection will also rent you a kayak to paddle into the bay at your own pace, allowing you to spot otters, sea lions and even a whale if you’re lucky. 

Afterwards, I put pedal to the metal along West Cliff Drive on my rented bicycle and soaked up the sun while surfers rode the waves in the distance. I was heading to Venus Spirits to try the local spirits, from organic whiskey to gin, aquavit and blue agave. Their resident golden labrador Juniper gives visitors a warm, furry welcome. 

I also stopped off at small family winery Sones Cellars. Here, I raised a glass (or four) of wine with Michael Sones, the British founder and connoisseur of the Santa Cruz grape. 

The drinks kept flowing that evening at Hotel Paradox, a short stride from the buzz of downtown, and the heated pool and hot tub were the icing on the cake. This luxury Redwood forest-inspired hotel and its guest rooms feature natural forest elements – from wooden stump tables to reclaimed wood panelling.

It was a relaxing haven that I found hard to tear myself away from, but San Francisco was calling and it was time to hit the road again. 

We found our first dose of flower power in the Mission District, where its colourful street art paints the picture of a war-torn neighbourhood transformed into the vibrant centre we see today. Mexican restaurants line the streets and bakeries pump out sweet smells of cookies and cakes.

We embarked on the Summer of Love Experience at the de Young Fine Arts Museum in Golden Gate Park, bursting with old photographs, political artwork and fashion trends from the hippie days. 

Luckily, we were well placed to explore all of the city’s major sights at the centrally located Taj Hotel, where the five-star treatment began from the moment we arrived. If you want to splash out, reserve a table at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Taj Campton Place. 

SurfingGETTY

Enjoy watersports in the beautiful sunshine

On our final day, we rode the magical old school cable car to San Francisco Bay, home to the popular Pier 39 which has more than 100 restaurants, shops and attractions. And thanks to our CityPASS, we also enjoyed a Blue & Gold Fleet cruise to the Golden Gate Bridge, passing the particularly vocal sea lions who sunbathe daily on the dock. A memorable end to our wonderful trip.
