The most unique thing about this masterpiece is its pale pink sand which is considered to be the very best in the world. The presence of Foraminifera in the sand is what makes it pink. Foraminifera are microscopic shelled animals with red or bright pink shell called "pseudopodia." Its pink sand stretches along 3 miles long and 50 to 100 feet wide with bits of broken shells, minute rocks, bits of corals and calcium carbonate. The beach's view is perfect especially during the setting of the sun when the beaches' pink sand turns salmon-colored.
