One of the best hidden beaches the beautiful colored rocks make this beach very unique and very picturesque. It also adds a fun sound effect to the water crashing against the shoreline.

The smooth pink rocks tinkle at this "singing" beach just 10 minutes away (just south of Split Rock Lighthouse).
