The Land of Enchantment is full of lakes, rivers, and natural wonders to bestow upon, but you often have to get wet to experience them fully. During the summer, most people like to visit a beach and dip their toes in the sand, however, the murky water might keep away those who want a beach without the mess. This national wonder in Otero County is an endless sea of white gypsum sand for you to dip your toes in, explore about, and even sled down the magnificent dunes. Get your beach clothes ready, because although there’s no water, it’s as hot as can be. You’ll be forever mesmerized at this unique beach without water in the Land of Enchantment.
