Curated Sand Type Collection
Exotic Pink Sand Beaches
Rare coral-tinged lagoons, crystal shallows, and pastel dreamscapes.
Pink sand beaches are among the rarest coastal ecosystems in the world, colored by millions of microscopic crushed red shells of benthic organisms (Foraminifera) blended with quartz sand.
In Europe, this rare phenomenon is concentrated primarily in southwestern Crete and selective Mediterranean nature reserves, offering surreal shallow lagoons and calm, warm waters.
