Ranging in color from blinding ivory to exotic ebony, beaches are some of the Caribbean’s most valuable stock in trade, drawing sand-and-sea lovers from all over the world. But none are as enchanting as those pink-sand beaches, which practically beg to be immortalized on your social feed. They’re few and far between, but their rarity only adds to their allure. So if you want to park it somewhere pink (and who doesn’t?), check out six of our favorite pink-sand spots — and as you’ll see, there’s a whole spectrum of pink.
Pink Sands Beach, Bahamas
This three-mile stunner is Harbour Island’s crown jewel — a cotton-candy-colored paradise backed by boutique resorts and bougainvillea. The crushed coral (and the shells of tiny marine creatures called red foraminifera) gives the sand its iconic blush tone, best viewed at sunrise with coffee (or stronger) in hand. Stay at the legendary Pink Sands Resort, one of the charming villas along the coast or, at our favorite, The Dunmore, where rooms start as low as $440 depending on the season.
