Vilankulos, during low tide the water retreats leaving sand bars and small pool of water in spetctacular colours - Picture by Jason Risley
You think you have seen all the beaches in the world and nothing can surprise you? Try Vilankulo! During high tide they look like many others, but low tide creates a magic spectacle. The ocean retreats, seems to disappear: sand as far as you can see! Not without leaving little streams or puddles in all different colors, from light blue to turquoise, a kaleidoscope of breathtaking colors. The scenery, the shapes of the little waterworks transforms constantly with the changing tide. German tourists proudly compared this spectacle to the “Wattenmeer” in northern Germany, minus the play of colors, of course.
