Pink Beach (Pantai Merah) snorkeling — Komodo

The site itself, where it sits, and what to know before you plan a snorkel around it. We describe it accurately — access and conditions are verified locally, on the day.

A blush-toned beach where eroded pink coral mixes with white sand, fronted by shallow, clear reef gardens — an easy, photogenic snorkel with turtle and reef fish.

Where it sits
Komodo island, south-east coast
Site type
Reef

This is one of the key sites on Komodo, which sits at #5 on our ranked catalog. Current-fed reefs where the marine life is as dramatic as the dragons.

Pair it with Kanawa Island just north of Labuan Bajo — a walk-in fringing reef with shallow coral gardens that makes a gentle, beginner-friendly warm-up before the wilder outer sites. Elsewhere in the park currents strengthen around the points, so snorkel with a guide and stay near the boat.

Verify access locally and confirm with your guide on the day.
