Probably these NRI friends were looking for best beach vacation. They ended in Caribbean and visited Pink Sands Beach. This summer we had quite a lot of contributions from our readers visiting beaches. This is another. Shanti (blue blouse) visited Caribbean with her friends.
Harbour Island is most renowned for its pale pink sand beaches some 3 plus miles long and 50 to 100 feet wide – considered one of the very best beaches in the Bahamas. The sand is a composition of bits of coral, broken shells, minute rocks and calcium carbonate from tiny marine invertebrates. The pink color comes from tiny microscopic shelled animals known as Foraminifera. This animal has a bright pink or red shell full of holes through which it extends a footing, called “pseudopodia” which it uses to attach itself and feed.
