Pink Beach — A Rose-Sand Shore Found in Only Seven Places on Earth
Microscopic fragments of red coral mix with white sand to paint the shoreline pink. Beneath the water, one of the most pristine reefs in the park is just two meters from the beach.
One of Just Seven Pink Beaches in the World
Tucked along the southeastern coast of Komodo Island, Pink Beach is named for the pale rose tint of its sand — a color produced when fragments of red organ-pipe coral (Tubipora musica) wash up and mix with the bright white grains beneath. Only six other beaches on the planet share this phenomenon, scattered across the Bahamas, Bermuda, Sardinia, the Philippines, Barbuda and Bonaire.
A smaller second pink beach exists on the eastern shore of Padar Island, but the main beach here remains the most vivid and best-preserved of all. Step in from the sand and you’re swimming over coral gardens within meters of shore — visibility regularly exceeds 20 meters during calm incoming tides.
