Though Harbour island certainly has a lot to offer in the way of attractions and sights, few compare to the beauty, or popularity of the famed Pink Sands Beach Bahamas. There are a number of things that set this destination aside from all the other beaches in the Bahamas. All of which combine together to create one of the world’s most memorable destinations.
The Famous Pink Sands of Pink Sands Beach
To start with, the most obvious and unique aspect of this beach is of course, the colour of its sand. As the name suggests, the turquoise blue waves of the Bahamian ocean roll onto pink sand, and not the iconic white of most other beaches in the Caribbean. Pink Sands Beach Bahamas is one of very few beaches in the world that display this pink hue. Some might consider this to be somewhat trivial, but those are yet to view the beach in person. Leaving a string of pink footprints in your wake as the sun sets over the rolling turquoise water is an experience that absolutely everyone who visits the Bahamas should enjoy.
Though there is still plenty more to discuss about this destination, an explanation for the color of this sand is due. Curiously, it is not, in fact, the sand itself that is pink, but rather that the white grains are mixed in with millions of microscopic red shells. These shells once belonged to Foraminifera, which are the most abundant single-celled organisms in the ocean. What the more observant traveller may notice, is that the pink color becomes stronger near the water’s edge. This is due to the fact that the shells display a much brighter red when wet. The red of the shell and the white of the sand blend together to display the pink color that has brought in travellers from around the globe.

The scenery is made more beautiful by the verdant greenery lining the shores. Palm trees cast dappled shade onto the pink sand. The palm fronds sway in the gentle breeze that rolls off the turquoise waves. The fresh scent of the ocean mingles with thousands of flowers across Harbour Island Bahamas. The rays of the sun dance playfully on the surface of the water and birdsong carries through the air. This destination truly feels like a fantasy, the idyllic atmosphere will make you feel as if you have been transported directly to paradise, and really, you have.
Of course, there are few destinations in the Bahamas, or even the world that are better for a range of fantastic vacation snaps. Pink beach Bahamas stretches on for upwards of 3 miles, and ranges from a 50-100 ft width. A busy, crowded beach would see this space filled in a matter of minutes, but in the Bahamas Out Islands, you could well be the only person or party on the beach. This enormous expanse of immaculate Bahamian nature is your playground and photo studio. You will come away with hundreds of unique pictures and even more unforgettable memories of one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.
Where is Pink Sand Beach?
Many people ask the question: “Where is Pink Sands Beach?”. Well, the simple answer is that it is on Harbour Island in the Bahamas, however there are a number of better-known landmarks around the island that may give you a better idea of where it is exactly. Many Eleuthera Bahamas tours offer a chance to visit Harbour Island and Pink Sands Beach Bahamas, and a short trip from the North Eleuthera Airport will bring you to a boat that will take you directly to Harbour Island and the vacation of your life.
