Pink Beach
Beach in Sekaroh (Islands).
Pink Beach, also called Pantai Tangsi, lies in Sekaroh on Lombok's remote southeastern tip, near Tanjung Ringgit, and owes its color to fragments of red coral mixed into white sand. The clear, calm water suits swimming and snorkeling, and a grassy hill beside the beach gives a wide view. The last stretch of road is rough, and many visitors come instead by boat from Tanjung Luar, stopping on the way at small islands such as Gili Petelu and Pulau Pasir.
