Pink Beach

Pantai Merah or simply, the pink beach Komodo Island, is one of seven pink sand beaches across the world. Situated in the East part of Komodo Island, only a few people know about this beautiful beach. Thus, people also call it a hidden paradise.

Pantai Merah or simply, the pink beach Komodo Island, is one of seven pink sand beaches across the world. What makes the sand appear pink under the sun are microscopic residents, organisms called Foraminifera. They produce a red pigment on the coral reefs and leave small red particles behind that blend with the white sand, forming a soft pink tint that glows beautifully and is visible from the shore, water, and viewpoints on the hills.

This picture-perfect scenery is widely appreciated by photographers that seek to capture and sustain its beauty in a memorable photo. Moreover, it’s a favorite spot for relaxation and tanning and for visitors wanting to take a moment to indulge in and admire the beauty of Mother Nature.

This exceptional beach gets its striking color from microscopic animals called Foraminifera, which produce a red pigment on the coral reefs.

The beach is situated in an uninhabited island, which gives in to its unspoiled location. The atmosphere in this beach is so serene and is one of a must-stop beach after trekking in Komodo Island. Indulge in the art of doing nothing in this beach as you bask the panoramic views of turquoise seas, green rolling hills, blue skies and fascinatingly pink sands.

The world-famous Pink Beach is a must-see for any visitor to Komodo National Park. With soft, pink sand, crystal clear waves, and amazing diving spots, you will never forget your time here.

This pink beach is located directly on Komodo Island, the home of the famous Komodo dragons, although you’re not likely to see them walking around here since they mostly stay over the hills. There are also vantage points you can hike up to for even better views, and the warungs on this beach are shaded by trees so they don’t interfere with the scenery too much.
