The sea around Harbour Island in the Bahamas, specifically due to the famous Pink Sands Beach, is popular because of its pink color.
This remarkable pink hue is not a characteristic of the sea itself, but rather a result of the composition of the sand on Pink Sands Beach. This beach gets its color from foraminifera, which are microscopic single-celled organisms that live on reefs and the seabed. These organisms have bright pink or red shells. When they die, their shells are crushed and mixed with the white sand, creating the distinctive pink color. The continuous action of waves and tides deposits these fragments onto the shore, resulting in the visually stunning pink sand.
Therefore, it is not technically an entire sea that is pink, but rather the beach along the sea that exhibits this unique and attractive characteristic.
