What comes to
your mind when you hear the word “beach”? You'd probably think of a plain
stretch of white sand against the ocean. But could you imagine a beach with
pink sand? It sounds absurd, however in Indonesia not one but two beached with
pink sand exist. One pink beach located in
Komodo National Park in East Nusa Tenggara, and the more famous one in Lombok
island, known as Tangsi Beach.
As a beach that has pink sand, Tangsi Beach is
better known as Pink Beach. Tangsi Beach
got the name from the color of the beach sand. The sand has pink color, making
it distinguish than any other beaches. The pink color of the beach was said to
derive from the fractions of coral reefs, named Homtrema rubrum, which
mixed with white sand of the beach. Reflection of sunlight and exposure to sea water adds to
the more clearly visible pink beach color. This beach is so calm and only has a small wave that
makes tourists more comfortable when playing there. [1]
Tangsi Beach is
situated in Jerowaru District, East Lombok Regency, Mataram, West Nusa
Tenggara. The beach is actually beautiful, however, the location is too remote
and the infrastructure is inadequate. You will need about two and a half an
hour driving from Mataram.
The
beauty of Pink Beach also looks perfect with the surrounding hills.
On the left side there is a hill with vast meadows. In addition, there is also an exotic promontory on the
rig ht side with a gazebo provided on it. [1][2]
When you come to Pink Beach, you can do many activities, especially water
activities. Water activities in the beach are fun and exciting, like
snorkeling, fishing, diving or surfing. Snorkeling will allow you to learn more
about the underwater life of the beach. You must bring your own equipment if
you want to do this activity. No rental activity is found in the beach. You can
also swim in the edge of the beach. The clear and clean water is safe for you
to swim at any time. Another challenging activity you can do in the beach is
water sports, like sea kayak. Sea kayak
will be fun, and you will have a challenging experience when you choose this
activity. [3]
The local village say the barracks
Coastal Beach Pink takes two hours from the city of Mataram and Senggigi, a considerable
distance away. Exactly the same route with the route to Tanjung Ringgit,
because the two adjacent locations the Only barracks beach entrance is on the
left, approximately 1 KM prior to Tanjung Ringgit. Well at the entrance there
are instructions or small signs to the left of the road reads PINK Beach 50
meters. You can rent a motorcycle from Mataram with IDR 75.000 for 1 day. [4]
Tangsi
beach is very tranquil, exeptionally calming especially during the dry season.
It is most enjoyable to go there between April untill August, while the sun
shines more frequently. We recomend you to go there soon, before it gets too
crowded. Go there and you can experience one of the last peaceful Paradises on
earth
