For most travelers, Indonesia is synonymous with Bali’s grand beaches and excited nightlife. And it is definitely worth a trip. Perhaps add Jakarta to the list for a dose of culture. But away from normal tourist hotspots, tuck is a surprising (and incredible) natural surprise that is postcard-capable in itself: the pink beach of the Comodo island!

Komodo island

The Komodo Island Vishal Komodo Dragon, takes its name from the world’s largest lizard that is found in abundance on the island, and is one of the 17,508 islands that create the Republic of Indonesia. Komodo island Komodo National Park is also part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, beyond intimidating reptiles, the gorgeous beach and unique landscapes of the island are equally noticeable.

One of these miracles is the pink beach, or Pantai Merah, one of the seven pink beaches in the world and is definitely the most Instagram. The magic behind pink sand comes from small pieces of red coral, mixed with the white sand of the island. Together, they form a unique rose-tinted coastline that looks even more real during sunrise and sunset.

Indonesia, in fact, there are two pink beaches, the second is on the island of Padar, where the pink tint is less clear but beautiful.
