Pink Beach — Attraction in East Nusa Tenggara

Pink Beach in Komodo National Park is one of the most stunning and unique beaches I have ever visited. The beach gets its distinctive pink hue from a mix of white sand and red coral fragments, creating a surreal and picturesque landscape.

The crystal-clear waters around Pink Beach make it an ideal spot for snorkeling and swimming. The vibrant marine life and coral reefs are breathtaking, offering an underwater paradise for enthusiasts. I highly recommend bringing your snorkeling gear or renting it from a nearby vendor to fully experience the beauty beneath the waves.

The beach itself is relatively quiet and not overly crowded, providing a serene and relaxing atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for sunbathing, beachcombing, or simply enjoying the natural beauty. The contrast between the pink sand, turquoise water, and lush green hills in the background makes for stunning photographs.

One of the highlights of visiting Pink Beach is the opportunity to explore the surrounding area by boat. Many tours include stops at other iconic locations within Komodo National Park, such as Padar Island and Komodo Island, allowing you to make the most of your trip.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. The trek to Pink Beach can be challenging, especially in the heat, so it's essential to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat. The facilities on the beach are minimal, so be prepared for a more rustic experience. Additionally, while the beach is generally clean, it's always a good idea to carry a small bag to take any trash with you to help preserve the pristine environment.

Overall, Pink Beach is a must-visit destination in Komodo National Park. Its unique beauty, vibrant marine life, and tranquil setting make it a memorable stop on any trip to Indonesia. Whether you're a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or simply looking for a beautiful place to relax, Pink Beach will...

If you’re lucky you might see some cute hermit crabs crawling on the beach!! I spotted two! Vid of one of them below. There are small fish that like to swim near the sand too! I didn’t personally swim and snorkel near the beach and preferred to walk around the beach instead to savor the Beautiful view of scenery along with the pink sand.

There are small huts that provide shade to sit down and have a snack or drink. I recommend getting a coconut! It’s fresh and much better than coconuts sold in Jakarta.

It’s very hot though so do bring a hat and load up...

Lovely beach, however, what everyone in these reviews fails to mention is that a lot of the pink comes from destroyed coral. The coral had been destroyed over the last number of years due to the anchors from the tourist boats coming in.

You can even see some of the ‘souvenir’ coral sitting beside the shops, which looks like it has been dredged from the water for display.

Unfortunately, by coming here, we are actively taking part in the destruction of coral reefs.

Additionally, the beach is littered with plastic, and when looking under the water there is a lot of rubbish.

View from afar, but perhaps suggest to your tour guide that you can skip the part where you anchor down and go...
