Aptly named Pink Beach, this magnificent blush hued shoreline gets its vivid colour from microscopic organisms called Foraminifera, which are essentially single-celled creatures with shells that are sometimes red and pink in colour.
These shells, mostly made up of organic compounds, sand grains or calcium carbonate, then get broken down into tiny fragments. When fused with white sand, these specks leave a soft, cotton candy coloured tint on the coast.
While this stretch of pink sand is arguably an attraction on its own, the shallow azure waters and fantastic underwater gardens at the Pink Beach are no less alluring, with an abundance of marine life and corals that are any ocean lover’s dream.
Stopping by the Pink Beach is one of the highlights of every Komodo National Park boat tour and for the purposes of environmental sustainability, the unspoiled, picture-perfect beach is not accessible by public ferries, making it all the more stunning.
