Have you ever been to one of these? They look like a straight scene out of a fairy tale. What makes the sand pink I hear you ask? Various pieces of shells, tiny red organisms living on red shells and coral reefs, mixed with sand that give these beaches a beautiful pink hue. It sounds pretty cool, is not it? So what are you waiting for? Take a look at these 8 amazing beaches with pink sandy beaches and plan your next vacation, or maybe take an impromptu trip while it's still warmed there.

2. Great Santa Cruz Island, Philippines

Not only is this country extremely beautiful, it is fascinating nature, and the tourism industry in boom, but it also houses the second pink sandy beach on our list. So, if you are planning a trip to the Philippines, make sure to visit the Great Island Santa Cruz and walk the beautiful pink sandy beach.
3. Budelli, Sardinia, Italy
Italy has so many attractions. The Colosseum, the leaning tower of Pisa, the Pantheon, the Basilica of Saint-Pierre, the Trevi Fountain, the chapel of Sistine - these are just a few that come immediately to the Spirit. But all these are just Rome, and there is much more to Italy than just Rome. There is one side of Italy that is much colder and perfect for a few days of lazy after seeing all museums. We are talking about Spiaggia Rosa, which literally translates to the "Pink Beach". This one is probably one of the most picturesque beaches in Italy.
4. Komodo, Indonesia
Did you know that Indonesia consists of more than 17,000 islands and the population of the country is 250 million people. Quite impressive, right? But here is what's even more impressive, the island of Komodo, home to the largest lizard in the world, a.k.a the Komodo Dragon. So, if you want to see a real dragon, that's where to go. And coincidentally it's also the island with a beautiful pink sandy beach. So dragons and pink beaches - sounds quite magical, do not you think?
5. Lombok, Indonesia
Speaking of Indonesia, this country is lucky enough because it does not boast one, but two pink sandy beaches. This one is called Tangsi Beach, which means without Soutorie "Pink Beach". This particular pink sand beach owes its magnificent hue to the abundance of coral reef fragments washed up to the shore and mixed with sand. Tangsi Beach is one of the most distant places in Indonesia, so it is rarely cluttered and the view is spectacular.
6. Crete, Greece
Talking about Greece usually invokes images of pretty white buildings in our memory. You know, those who would be so popular on Instagram, with endless stairs and bright blue roofs. It is a great country with very friendly people. But today, we would like to mention an uninhabited island of the Côte de Crete, called Gramvousa. This is where the lagoon of Ballos is, with its shallow warm waters and sandy beach that is pink millions of crushed shells washed up to the shore.
7. Horseshoe Bay Beach, Bermuda
Some of us could immediately associate the Bermuda with the triangle of the Bermuda and all the vessels and lost planes. But in reality, Bermuda is a great holiday place. It consists of several islands, which are all very great for a summer holiday. The island of Bay Horseshoe Bay, however, is probably the best known and the most popular in travel destinations. The beach of Horseshoe Bay got his name because of its unique shape, it really looks like a horseshoe. And it is covered with baby pink sand of course.
8. Dutch Caribbean Island
And finally, we arrived at the last pink sand beach, we mentioned today - the beach of Pink Bonaire. This one, like many other pink sandy beaches, becomes its color to bright pink microscopic guys called Foraminifera. The beach of Pink Bonaire is quite narrow, but it's a good place for a picnic and an excellent location for snorkeling and scuba diving.
