Komodo, Indonesia
Pink Beach
Komodo, Indonesia
One of the few pink beaches in the world is found on the island of Komodo. Green hills and turquoise water border the rosy shore. In some areas the ocean is so clear, you can make out the coral reef below. While you’re there, keep an eye out for oversized Komodo dragons, lizards that take their name from the island.
Pink Sands Beach
Harbour Island, Bahamas
For a blush-tinted beach, head to the Bahamas. Although smaller, Harbour Island is much more laid- back than the casino-laden Nassau, Paradise Island or Cable Beach. Winter, when the temperature settles at about 75 degrees, is an ideal time to visit. Spend your days swimming in the gentle waters and your nights feasting on conch, the local specialty.
Red Beach
Santorini, Greece
Santorini may be known for whitewashed cliff-top towns, like Fira and Oia, but its red sand beach is truly
breathtaking. This natural wonder is located minutes from a man-made one, the Minoan ruins of Akrotiri. Admire the red shore from above, or walk down to experience it up close.
Ramla Bay
Gozo, Malta
Legend has it that Calypso’s cave in Homer’s Odyssey is one that overlooks the orange shore of Ramla Bay,
on the Maltese island of Gozo. Although the cave itself isn’t much to look at, the climb up to it is worth it for the panoramic view of the curved coastline it offers. The orange sand stretches long and wide, so you can find plenty of space on this popular beach to lie out in.
