Komodo National Park - Part 2
The second stop on our tour was the Pink Beach, one of only seven rare pink beaches in the world. Its distinctive hue comes from a mix of white sand and red coral fragments, with the red pigment produced by microscopic organisms visible along the shoreline.
Reaching Pink Beach required a 15-minute boat ride. A light rain accompanied us on the journey—a common occurrence in December, the rainy season. Fortunately, the weather had been pleasant while we were hiking. However, as soon as we arrived at Pink Beach, the rain intensified. Thankfully, a few makeshift kiosks provided shelter, and we took the opportunity to enjoy fresh coconuts while waiting for the rain to pass. Within 10 to 15 minutes, the downpour subsided. Although the sky remained overcast, the moment the rain stopped, everyone eagerly rushed back to the water.
Despite the presence of other tourists from various countries, the beach was far from crowded. As I strolled along the shore, I soon found myself alone. The distant murmur of voices faded beneath the rhythmic crash of waves and the soft rustling of leaves. It was one of those rare moments that urged me to pause, breathe, and simply take in the incredible view before me. The world, I realized, is full of wonders.

This is one of my favourite spots at Pink Beach
I could sit here for hours, gazing at the incredible view and listening to the soothing sound of the waves.
