Pink Sand

Barbuda is 38 miles north of its sister island Antigua.

 

It is world renowned for its pristine beaches which stretch for nearly 8 miles.

 

The sand is silky, soft and amazing to see set against the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

 

Even more amazing are those beaches sprinkled with Pink Sand. The Pink Sand is actually made up of thousands of tiny, crushed fragments of pink shells & coral. The sand is at its pinkest just after groundswells, when the crushed pink shells are churned up by the sea and deposited on the southern and western coasts of Barbuda.

 

Its like a pink carpet. A must see!
