Destinations: Pink Beach

Why is the sand pink?

The sand at Pink Beach Komodo National Park is pink due to the presence of tiny creatures called Foraminifera. These creatures release a red pigment into the water, which eventually washes up on the shore and gives the sand its unique and beautiful color.

Where are they located and how to get there?

Both Pink Beaches are located in the Komodo National Park. One is located on Komodo Island and the other one on Padar Island. They can be reached by boat. The best way to get there is by booking a boat trip starting from Labuan Bajo on Flores Island, which includes them as a destination.
