Pink Beach
There may not be much of its pink
sand to enjoy, but you can still picnic
on the narrow strip of beach. It derived
its pink colour from coral, which over
time was ground to powdery pink sand
by the surf. Relax and enjoy the lovely
panoramic view - idyllic! It is also a
great location for snorkeling and scuba
diving.
