Beach Time at Pink Beach

Pink Beach, known locally as Pantai Merah, is one of only seven pink-sand beaches in the world. The color comes from tiny red-shelled organisms on the fringing reef, washed ashore and mixed with crushed coral. The water is calm and shallow, and the reef sits just a short swim out. Snorkel over the coral, paddle a kayak or stand-up board along the shoreline, or simply stretch out on the sand and watch the bay.
