Pink sand? Count us in! Some of the finest natural pink marvels can be found along the coast, and we all know this doll adores the beach. If you’re dreaming of a seaside escape infused with pastel pinks, here’s where we recommend heading.
- Pink Sands Beach, Bahamas.
Situated on one of the more tranquil islands, Pink Sands Beach offers endless chances for swimming and sunbathing all year round. Fly into Eleuthera Airport, then take a ferry to Harbour Island to enjoy the soft pink sands.
- Horseshoe Bay, Bermuda.
Horseshoe Bay is celebrated as one of the most breathtaking pink beaches on the island. To visit, fly into L.F. Wade Airport and then take a taxi or bus to the beach. Don’t forget your beach towels—chairs and umbrellas are available for rent.
- Komodo Beach, Indonesia.
Komodo Island, a lesser-known gem in eastern Indonesia, boasts some of the most striking pink beaches on the planet. You can stop by from Bali or fly directly to Labuan Bajo and take a boat to Komodo Beach. For a complete adventure, consider booking a tour of Komodo National Park.
- Elafonissi Beach, Greece.
Among Greece's myriad beaches, Elafonissi Beach is a must-visit for any pink enthusiast. Recognized as one of the finest in the world, it attracts travelers of all ages. Since driving in Crete can be tricky, we suggest taking a bus to the beach or arranging a boat trip from Palaiochora for the day.
- Lake Hillier, Australia.
While not exactly a beach, this pink body of water deserves a mention. Lake Hillier is located in the Recherche Archipelago in Western Australia. Unlike the other destinations on this list, Lake Hillier is best appreciated from the sky. Consider booking a scenic flight tour from Esperance Airport in Gibson for an unforgettable view.
