Pink Beach Komodo · Origin, Snorkel, Best Times
Pink Beach gets its colour from Foraminifera red shells — one of seven pink-sand beaches in the world. Best snorkel window: 9:00–11:00.
Why the sand is pink
Red comes from Foraminifera shell fragments mixed with white sand; colour shifts with tide and light.
Snorkel spots
West shallow reef for families; east channel for turtles.
Best timing
9:00–11:00 light is on the sand; chop builds in the afternoon.
Photography tips

Package combos
Day trip / 3D2N / private charter all visit Pink Beach.
