IT'S SUMMER TIME! AMAZING PINK BEACHES HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES



Philippines have pink sand beaches one in Zamboanga City and the other one at Northern Samar. It was really amazing especially to the tourist who have been there.


The remarkable pink color is caused by tiny red organisms growing under the coral reefs. When these red organisms die on the ocean floor, they get washed up and mixed with bits of coral, shells, and other debris in the seabed. This gives the sand its characteristic pink hue.

1 - Great Santa Cruz Island (Zamboanga City, Mindanao)








Because of its vast potential as a tourist spot, the local government of Zamboanga regulates its visitors. You need to coordinate with their tourist office to visit, and staying overnight is not allowed.

2 - Sila Island (San Vicente, Northern Samar)








Sila Island is one of the most impressive beaches you could ever visit in the Philippines. Here you'll see Pink Sand Resort that rents out cottages for a day. Even if the sand is not ultra mega pink, up close though, its pinkish color is noticeable.


The Philippines is difficult to top when it comes to stunning beaches. Tourists and locals alike never run out of reasons to explore what our country has to offer, and National Geographic seems to be on the same boat.

That is why it's more fun in the Philippines.
