You are a beach lover, a nature lover, a searcher of some peaceful getaway, you will find with the help of this travel guide the best way in which you might utilize your visit in such a marvelous place.

The Pink Beach is Unique

Pink Beach or locally Pantai Merah owes its captivating color to tiny living things (microscopic), found on coral reefs referred to as the Foraminifera. The traditional red shells mix with the white sand when those little animals die and make the famous pink color. The difference in colors between the pink sand, blue ocean and green hills is very nice to look and super good for taking pictures. The beach is very sparsely developed because it is isolated and enjoys protection withholding by Komodo National Park.

Accessing the Komodo Island pink beach is slightly planning but worth all the effort. The major path starts with a plane to a small town in the Island of Flores called Labuan Bajo. After that you could go on a boat tour or private charter to Komodo Island.
