People visit the Apostle Islands because they are just gorgeous. But you might not know that Julian Bay Beach, on Stockton Island, has a really interesting feature. It is home to something called “barking sand.” Sand barks? Yeah, we never heard of it, either. Apparently, it takes the right kind of conditions and the right kind of sand. This particular beach on this particular island has this feature. So what exactly is barking sand? Well, the barking is a sound that is caused by wind passing over the sand.

Here are some pictures of the beach where this phenomenon occurs:
