Beachgoers Scared by Snake Sighting in Ocean City

Pink sand beaches are captivating travelers worldwide, with Elafonissi Beach in Crete earning acclaim for its pastel-pink sand and clear waters, being named the world's best beach in recent Tripadvisor awards. The unique pink hue is created by tiny marine creatures whose shells mix with the sand, attracting visitors seeking a Maldives-like experience at a more accessible price. Similarly, Indonesia's Komodo Island boasts Pantai Merah, one of only seven pink beaches globally, where the sand's rose tint comes from red coral fragments blending with white sand. Komodo Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also renowned for its diving, snorkeling, and the presence of Komodo dragons, offering both natural beauty and adventure. Both destinations are praised for their scenic landscapes and accessibility, making them standout options for travelers seeking unusual and picturesque beach experiences.
