These 14 Colorful Bodies Of Water Look Too Cool To Be Real, But They Are

Nature is pretty incredible, isn’t it?

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget that there’s a whole world out there to explore. Although every city, town, and country has its fair share of man-made tourist attractions, natural landmarks really pique my interest.

Maybe I just find beauty in the simple things, but I could spend hours looking at photographs of gorgeous bodies of water. There’s just something so majestic about them that puts my mind at ease. It doesn’t hurt that some of the lakes, oceans, and lagoons across the world are so breathtakingly beautiful that you almost have to look twice to make sure they’re real. For that reason, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite aquatic destinations. They may look otherworldly, but they can be found right here on Earth.
