Geography

 

Up until now, I have been able to find these types of sand patterns similar to what I call Diamond Codes in the Punta Diamante region of Acapulco, in the State of Guerrero in Mexico, in four beaches across the world, where prestigious photographers specialized in nature, have documented and published their observations.

I have heard of other places in the world that have similar figures, however, I do not have photographic documentation. These places are Lencois Maranhenses in Brazil, Canoa Quebrada in Brazil, Palomino in Tayrona Park in Colombia, and Cerritos Beach in Baja California, Mexico.

Most probably these sand figures exist in other parts of the world, and/or they have not yet been published as such or I did not find such documentation.

The purpose of this website is to receive comments and documentation from people with similar photographs from other parts of the world and try to explain the origin and causes of the formation of these structures. If you have knowledge of geographic locations with the same phenomenon, you can send me information and photographs by clicking on this contact link.
