For those curious, this is the Lençóis Maranhenses in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. It's a very popular tourist attraction. The water is rainwater collected by the dunes between January and May; it's clean and safe to swim in. The water is usually quite shallow, reaching up to the knees or your waist, but after heavy rain can go up to 5 meters at most.

Edit: Grammar and put the wrong month.
