“Pink Beach gets its color from the crushed shells of millions of microscopic bright pink sea creatures called foraminifera,” said Tourism Corporation Bonaire. “Pink Beach is an excellent beach to visit if you want to do some snorkeling or scuba diving. Although the strip of sand is relatively narrow, it is a great spot for relaxing picnics and the views are idyllic.”
