Beautiful or terrifying?

A bit of both

What's so scary ?

I saw this on the grand tour special

Who's ready to make sand castles ?

I'VE BEEN TO THE DESERT ON A HORSE WITH NO NAME
IT FELT GOOD TO BE OUT OF THE RAIN
IN THE DESERT, YOU CAN REMEMBER YOUR NAME
FOR THERE AIN'T NO ONE FOR TO GIVE YOU NO PAIN.

Don't you mean Tatooine?

desert? or biggest beach in the world?

This isn't very uncommon. This is basically California - desert meets ocean.
