#monthlytopic of June 2020 - A good place for a sunny day
Hello Local Guides! It’s summer already, but some of us still can’t travel because of this pandemic situation. Are you dreaming of the perfect getaway in summer?
Personally, I love going to the beach on a sunny day. I’m feeling blessed living in a country that has so many beautiful beaches. So in this post, let me introduce you to Pink Beach, my favorite beach in Indonesia. This quiet small beach is a perfect place to relax and unwind!
Where is Pink Beach located?
Pink Beach is located within the Komodo National Park, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. It is one of seven pink beaches that exists in the world, and one of the many amazing features of Komodo Island that make it full of magical wonder. I was blown away by just how pink the Pink Beach was!
How come Pink Beach got so pink?
The pink color of the sand comes from microscopic red organisms in coral named Foraminifera. As they grow and die, their crushed shells get pushed onto the beach by the continuous tide and mixed with the white sand, resulting in the soft pink colored sand.
How to get there
The Pink Beach is situated in an uninhabited island, so it can only be accessed by boat from the nearest town of Labuan Bajo. It is usually visited as part of an island hopping day trip, multi-day trip or liveaboard. Take a local flight from Jakarta or Bali to Labuan Bajo. Then, you can book a tour package that suits your budget, timing, and interests.
So, what is your favorite place to go in the summer time? Do you like going to the beach? I would love to hear your comments.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

Wiii…, pantai merah jambuuu…
Menarik sekali, Kak @Lusianaa
Btw kalo pas island hoping begitu, di pantai yang ini biasanya mampir berapa lama? Sejam doang buat foto-foto atau sepuasnya wisatawannya?
Dan memang sesepi itu, ya? Cuma ada satu kapal? Atau sebetulnya rame cuma nggak ikut kefoto?
Asyik banget kayaknya piknik di sini. Terima kasih sudah berbagi, Kak @Lusianaa

Yes, you’re right! Pink Beach is every beach lover’s dream. You must see with your own eyes to believe that this beach exists. I hope you have a chance to visit this place.

Terima kasih sudah membaca kak @iorikun301 mbak @Nyainurjanah , senang bisa berbagi cerita dengan kalian
Saya menghabiskan waktu sekitar 3 jam di pantai ini. Ya, memang sesepi itu, hanya ada rombongan dari kapal kami saja. Kata tour guide kami, sebenarnya ada 2 pantai pink di area ini. Pantai pink yang satunya ramai turis. Kami beruntung diajak ke pantai pink “rahasia” ini.
Walaupun ada sedikit pengeditan dalam foto-foto ini, warna pink yang kalian lihat tidak jauh berbeda dengan aslinya. Semakin cerah cuaca, akan semakin kontras warna pink nya.
Foto gaya lompat diambil berkali-kali mbak @Nyainurjanah seingat saya sekitar 5 kali 
Ayo dicoba seru loh! Pasir warna pink berasal dari karang mati warna merah (dari organisme Foraminifera) yang terbawa arus dan bercampur dengan pasir putih.
Ayo ke Labuan Bajo kakak-kakak!

Hi @Sophia_Cambodia thank you for reading my post
The exceptional color of the beach or lake is surely magical, right? And to be able to see it with our own eyes will be an amazing experience. So, are you planning to see the Pink Lake?

Thank you @AngieYC
Actually, there are two Pink beaches within the area. According to the information I got from our tour guide, one is very popular on the organised island hopping tours, and another one is the “secret” Pink Beach that we visited. As you can see from my photos, it was completely free from tourists and trash.
I think the best time to visit is during summer months (between May and August). Have you been to Labuan Bajo?
