About Pink Beach Komodo

Pink Beach, known locally as Pantai Merah, is one of the world's rarest natural phenomena - a beach with genuinely pink-colored sand. This extraordinary beach gets its distinctive rosy hue from microscopic red coral fragments called Foraminifera that mix with the white sand, creating a stunning pink gradient that shifts in intensity depending on the light and viewing angle.

Located within Komodo National Park, Pink Beach offers more than just its famous colored sand. The pristine waters surrounding the beach are home to some of the richest marine biodiversity in Indonesia, making it an exceptional snorkeling and diving destination. The coral reefs are vibrant and healthy, supporting hundreds of fish species, sea turtles, reef sharks, and other marine life.

The beach itself is relatively small and secluded, accessible only by boat, which helps preserve its pristine condition. The contrast between the pink sand, turquoise water, and lush green hills creates a surreal landscape that feels like stepping into a natural wonderland. Swimming and snorkeling here offer the unique experience of enjoying one of nature's rarest beaches while exploring some of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems.
