Pink Beach — Attraction in East Nusa Tenggara

The Pink Beach on Padar Island is often referred to as Long Pink Beach to distinguish it from Pantai Merah on Komodo Island. It is a stunning, lesser-visited alternative to the main Pink Beach.

Here is a review and guide for visiting the Pink Beach on Padar Island: The Experience: Remote Beauty and Vibrant Color

Vibrant Pink Sand: This Beach has a brighter, more vibrant pink hue than its counterpart on Komodo Island, making it a stronger contender for the "pinkest" beach in the region. The color comes from the crushed red coral fragments mixing with the white sand. Secluded Atmosphere:Because the main focus of Padar Island is the famous viewpoint hike, the Long Pink Beach tends to be less crowded than the one on Komodo Island, offering a more peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Dramatic Backdrop:It is nestled in a cove on the northern side of Padar Island, backed by the same rugged, grassy, volcanic hills that make the Padar viewpoint so famous, creating a highly dramatic and picturesque setting.

Activities at Padar's Pink Beach The experience is usually a combination of the iconic Padar viewpoint hike and a visit to the beach.

Snorkeling & Swimming:The water is crystal-clear and warm. It is an excellent spot for snorkeling, with vibrant coral reefs close to the shore, though some say the snorkeling is better at the Komodo Island Pink Beach.

Relaxing Due to the fewer crowds, it's a perfect place to simply relax on the unique sand and soak up the sun. You can rent kayaks/canoes in the calm bay. |

Photography The contrast between the brilliant pink sand, the turquoise water, and the surrounding green/brown hills makes it one of the most photogenic beaches in Indonesia.

Local Vendors Unlike the main Komodo Pink Beach (Pantai Merah), the Long Pink Beach on Padar Island often has a few small local vendors (warungs) selling light snacks and cold drinks/coconuts. |

Access:Padar Island's Pink Beach is only accessible by boat tour from Labuan Bajo, the gateway town to the Komodo National Park.

In summary: If your primary goal is to see the most vibrant pink sand possible in a less crowded setting, the Long Pink Beach on Padar Island is often the preferred choice...

Indonesia's Komodo Island is renowned for its Komodo dragons, but there is much more to explore in the area. One of the hidden gems in the region is Pink Beach, which is known for its beautiful pink sand.

Located near Komodo Island, Pink Beach is a popular stop on day trips from Labuan Bajo, and for good reason. The beach's sand gets its pink hue from the pulverized red coral that mixes with the white sand. This unique combination creates a stunning visual contrast against the clear turquoise waters.

Our day trip to Pink Beach was organized by D Tours Komodo, and we were impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of the area. Our guide gave us a brief history of the beach and told us about the surrounding marine life. He also advised us on how to protect the reef and the creatures that call it home.

Upon arrival at Pink Beach, we were greeted by the breathtaking view of the pink sand and crystal-clear water. We immediately jumped into the water to snorkel and were amazed by the variety of marine life we saw. We swam with colorful fish, giant clams, and even spotted a sea turtle!

After a refreshing swim, we lounged on the beach and soaked up the sun. The beach was relatively quiet, which allowed us to enjoy the scenery and relax without the usual crowds.

Overall, our visit to Pink Beach was an incredible experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Komodo Island. The beach's unique pink sand and stunning underwater world make it a must-see destination. We also recommend booking a tour with D Tours Komodo for a hassle-free and...

Pink Beach, or Pantai Merah, as it's known in Bahasa (the name actually translates to "Red Beach"), on Komodo Island, can only be reached by boat, so rowdy groups with booming speakers and barbecues won't be found there. The color of the sand comes from foraminifera, a marine organism that coats the local reefs with a red hue. When red-tainted coral bits mix with the white sand, the combination lends the beach a deep pink palette. It anchors the whole scene. The water is fabulously clear turquoise — the snorkeling is magnificent — scrubby hills climb above the sand, and clear skies magnify the natural beauty. Visitors should not remove any of the sand as a memento; it's not only unfair to other visitors, but it's also illegal. Komodo Island is also famous for the muscular, scaly, giant lizards that live here, the Komodo Dragon. Squat and very strong, they are extremely dangerous, so don't ever approach one; to see one, take a ranger-led tour of Komodo National Park. The best way to explore this part of the country is on a cruise like the one Ponant...
