White Sand Beaches in Florida

Why are the beaches in Destin white? Did you know only a few select beaches in the world have the same sugar white sand? In fact there are only a few select white sand beaches in Florida. The sand found today in the Florida Panhandle (Pensacola Beach, Destin, & Panama City Beach) is originated millions of years ago from the Appalachian Mountains. The beaches in Desitn and the Emerald Coast have gone thousands of years without the influence of silt bearing rivers, which is a pretty unique situation.
