About This Landmark

In the picturesque region of East Lombok, Indonesia, lies the enchanting Pink Beach. This serene coastal gem is celebrated for its striking, blush-colored sands, made uniquely vibrant by a mixture of white sand and red coral fragments. The beach is part of the Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its pristine natural beauty and biodiversity. Visitors are drawn to the gentle waves of the turquoise sea and the surrounding verdant hills that create a remarkable contrast against the rosy shoreline. The area offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life and is a favorite spot for those seeking both relaxation and natural marvels.

Apart from its visual allure, Pink Beach is home to an incredible array of marine life, making it ideal for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. Divers often enjoy encounters with an array of colorful fish, graceful manta rays, and even playful dolphins. The warm waters and the vibrant coral reefs create an underwater paradise for nature enthusiasts. Beyond the marine adventures, the surrounding area invites hikers and nature lovers with trails that offer breathtaking panoramas of the coast and the rich flora and fauna of Lombok. As a cultural note, the beach holds significance for locals, known as ‘Pantai Merah’ in Indonesian, adding to its charm and allure.
