Pink Beach Lombok: A Hidden Gem of Indonesia

Pink Beach, locally known as Pantai Tangsi, is one of the most unique and stunning coastal destinations in Indonesia. Located on the eastern side of Lombok Island, this beach is famous for its soft pink-hued sand—a rare natural phenomenon found in only a few places around the world.

Why Is It Pink?

The pink color of the sand comes from microscopic organisms called Foraminifera, which produce red pigments on the coral reefs. When these red-tinted coral fragments mix with the white sand, they create the beach’s signature pink tone. The effect is most visible in bright sunlight, especially during the early morning or late afternoon.

How to Get There

Pink Beach is located about 2.5 hours by car from Mataram, Lombok’s capital city. The road can be rough in some parts, so it’s best to use a 4WD vehicle or book a local tour. Many visitors also combine a trip to Pink Beach with snorkeling tours around the nearby islands like Gili Petelu and Pulau Pasir.
