Pink Beach - An exotic scenery

Indonesia has dozens or even hundreds of beaches with stunning natural charm. However, the beaches on the island of Komodo have a mainstay which can not be found in anywhere else. The grains of sand on the beach is pink that’s why it’s called pink beach,while local people named it as Red Beach. The sand is very soft. The color of the coral red reef derived from microscopic animals called Forminifea. These animals live among coral reef or rocks. Red coral in the sea is constantly eroded so the pieces were scattered among the sand so as to form a pink tinge. The colors of red or pink are more visible to the waves lapping the shoreline.

Pink Beach lies to the west of the island of Komodo. To get there can be two ways; trekking or boat. Most tourists come there by boat or vessel.

These beach destinations have become mandatory for tourists who previously visit the Komodo Park in West Flores. Having tired of trekking to see the Komodo dragon, the beach is so conditioned body that is full of sweat.
