English sentence - one of Guadeloupe's most beautiful beaches with its postcard white sand and coconut trees.

Kwiziq answer - l'une des plus belles plages de Guadeloupe avec son sable blanc et ses cocotiers de carte postale.

Why is ‘de carte postale’ used with cocoiters (coconut trees) and not sable (sand)? The English sentence uses postcard white sand, not post card coconut trees

Is "des belles choses" possible? (Or just wrong).

I would like to know why retenir means "to learn" here and not apprendre

Could someone please explain what "aidée" is agreeing with here? Why is it feminine?

Please could you explain why prochain is placed in front of 'concert', when it is normally placed after nouns?
