10 beaches where you can do without pink glasses
Most people, when they mention the beach, imagine a shore covered with golden or white sand. However, this is by no means the only color scheme, because there are beaches in the world and other shades, most often pink.
If there was a patent for the use of color, then pink would definitely be redeemed by the female half of humanity under the age of twenty. Indeed, the abundance of the most carefree of shades in our burdened lives is sometimes as annoying as traffic jams. But even the most desperate opponents of "vanilla" can't deny that sometimes pink is so beautiful that it's not even a shame to tell your biker friends about it. Beaches of a delicate pink hue are just the case, so if you think that your life lacks colors, then feel free to plan your vacation on one of the pink coasts. We even made a list of the top 10 so that everyone knows what kind of paradise awaits them.
Elafonisi is located in the southern part of the Greek island of Crete. The pink sands of this beach can be reached on foot in shallow water in some months.
The Italian island of Budelli is part of the Maddalen archipelago in northern Sardinia. Its most famous beach is rightfully considered to be Spiaggia Rosa, the sands of which are given a pink hue by the shells of foraminifera and other marine microorganisms crushed over thousands of years.
Of the 17.5 thousand islands of Indonesia, Komodo is lucky to have such an attraction as a pink beach, which owes its color to corals, of which there are a great many. In addition, the island became famous due to the fact that it is home to the world's largest class of lizards, simply called the Komodo dragon.
Horseshoe Bay Island in the North Atlantic Ocean got its name because its shape really resembles a horseshoe. The pink beach on it well deserves the word "pink" in the name, but then it would probably become too long — Horseshoe Bay-Pink Beach.
Great Santa Cruz is one of the islands adjacent to the Philippine city of Zamboanga. At the same time, the city itself is mostly located on the island of Mindano. The pink color of the sand on this beach is due to the presence of reddish coral chips in its composition.
Barbuda and Antigua are twin islands located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The difference between them can be felt only thanks to the abundance of pink on the beaches in the southwest of Barbuda and its absence in neighboring Antigua.
This beach can be discovered by visiting the Greek island of Gramvousa, off the coast of Crete. The lagoon is surrounded by a large number of rocky formations that seem to guard the pink treasure of the sands and the purest waters of the local beach.
Lombok is part of the Indonesian Lesser Sunda Islands. Its main attraction is Tangsi Beach, whose sands are considered one of the pinkest in the world.
Bonaire Island is one of the three "corners" of the Leeward Antilles forming the so—called ABC triangle (Aruba, Bonaire, Cigacao) in the Caribbean.
This island is one of the administrative districts of the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean. The length of the local pink beach is almost 5 kilometers, and in one gram of sand here you can find several hundred live individuals of foraminifera and even more ground remnants of their shells.
