Spend a day there, and we bet you decide to come back for your first anniversary -- and maybe your second and third. Pink Sands is a 20-acre haven set by the edge of the famous three-mile pink sand beach.
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. They are washed up on shore as a result of waves or fish that knock them loose as they feed on them. Foraminifera are among the most abundant single cell organisms in the ocean and play a significant role in the environment. |
