From series “Most Fabulous and Magic Beaches”
One of the most romantic beaches in the world is located in the Bahamas. Pink Sands Beach  has long been a landmark of world importance. This beach is unique because of incredibly amazing pink sand. This part of coast belongs to Harbor Beach. The color of the sand is owed to protozoa foraminifera living on coral reefs. The carapace of these microorganisms is painted in a bright pink or red color. During a storm, the smallest shells are thrown on the shore, where they are mixed with pieces of white sand, giving it the unique color.

Top destination around Pink Sands Beach - Harbour Island

However, if you’re looking for a tranquil place, you can find it in any local bay all around the territory of the island. Remember that most of the beaches here have no special facilities. Those who’re fond of snorkelling or just keen on magnificent views should definitely visit Briland's Blue Hole. You can see corals right near the sea surface, starfish, and a great variety of other underwater creatures there. Harbour Island is a perfect place for diving, too. The island is surrounded by coral reefs. They protect the island from strong winds and air and water temperature swings and, what is more, it’s a home for diverse local creatures starting from different coral reef fish to sharks.

Local sharks are not that big and they usually don’t attack people. Thrill-seekers even take a risk and feed these marine predators. Nevertheless, you would get a lot of impressions doing diving even without meeting so dangerous species. Both sophisticated divers and beginners would find something peculiar to see: there are various tropical creatures, fancy corals, underwater caves and grottos, sunken ships of different time periods and all other kinds of the local beauty. Even though the island is not so big, here you can rent diving equipment as well as take real diving lessons by the end of which you would get a true international divers' license. So, if you’d always wanted to try yourself in this activity, you’d a have a great opportunity to finally do it here on Harbour Island.
