Parkdean Resorts compared the color of sand on UK beaches to almost identical ones around the world

The pandemic has derailed thousands of family vacation plans abroad, with many opting to stay in the UK instead.

But even if restrictions are lifted and more countries are added to the Green and Orange List, jet-setters could have an incentive to stay in the UK and explore UK beaches.

In fact, their Instagram followers would barely be able to tell the difference, with Resorts in Parkdean Sifting through the shores to match the sand tones of the UK with tropical beaches around the world.

The vacation company has revealed the destinations it says will compare to that same vacation feeling without having to travel halfway around the world.

Here are 10 beaches that might fool your Instagram followers when you were abroad.

Kynance Cove, Cornwall and Hyams Beach, Australia

The icy sands of Kynance Cove in Cornwall are a perfect match for Hyams Beach, which is miles off the Australian coast.
