The Pink Beach (Pantai Merah), located in the Komodo National Park, is one of the seven pink beaches on the planet. As you can see from the videos and the picture, it's a beautiful beach.

Science trivia: Microscopic animals on the coral reefs called Foraminifera produce a red pigment. When the tiny fragments of the red coral dislodge, and eventually reach the shore, they mix with the white grains of sand of the shoreline, producing the soft pink colour that is visible along the shoreline.
The corals of the Pink Beach’s underwater gardens are another excellent reason to visit this beach. They provide refuge to thousands of species of fish, which makes Pink Beach a terrific choice for snorkelers and beginner divers.
One should never forget of course, that this is the natural habitat of the Komodo dragon. Komodo Dragons are excellent swimmers, and could be potentially dangerous to people, so it is not recommended to visit this beach without the help of an experienced guide or ranger (1).
I left the camera on the boat and swam to the shore, so this is a video of the beach I took from the boat;

I also found another interesting video of the beach on YouTube:
I hope you like them.
