The 13 Most Stunning Pink Sand Beaches in the World

Whether it’s peach-toned, flamingo-hued, or a soft pastel, most of us can agree: spotting a pink beach while on vacation is pretty darn magical.

Naturally pink beaches are rare—fewer than a dozen in the world are consistently that color. But if you include red beaches and those that shift between shades of red, pink, and orange, you get a list of 13 stunning spots where the sand is as bright and vivid as a coral reef (which makes sense, since much of that color comes from crushed coral).

Here are 13 of the most brilliantly colored beaches in the world and how to get to each, from Indonesia to Iceland.

Every week, a new creator. Real stories of turning travel into a dream job.
