Located on one of the many islands in Indonesia, the picturesque beach is listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Site for its marine life-rich resources and Komodo dragon conservation activities.
Locally called the Red Beach, the pink-tinted sand gets its color from microorganisms called Foraminifera, which produces the red pigments for coral reefs.

When disintegrated pieces of the coral get swayed to the shore by waves, it combines with the white sand and creates a visually stunning result.
Travel websites recommend that the best times to visit the place is from April to June and September to November. These duration of time is said to be ideal for the pink hue of the beach to be visible.
Thanks to the transparent waters, the beautifully formed coral gardens on the sea bed makes a great attraction for snorkeling and diving activities.
