Review:
Pink Sands Beach is located on Harbour Island, a tranquil tourist destination in the Bahamas. As one of the nation's most popular areas, Pink Sands Beach sees plenty of visitors each year. The pink sand that coats the three-mile-long beach is made up of tiny coral pieces, broken shells and minuscule fragments of calcium carbonate.
The sand gets its distinctive pink hue from microscopic shelled animals called Foraminifera. In addition to its unique sand, Pink Sands Beach is known for its excellent diving conditions. It is the site of the Current Cut Dive, which allows a scuba diver to drift along the 2/3-mile-stretch between Eleuthera and Current Island within 10 minutes.
