The most famous pink sand beaches are found in Bermuda, and in the Bahamas, on Harbor Island. Pink Sand is the result of the colorful red shells of tiny sea creatures called "foraminifera". These tiny creatures live beneath rocks and inside caves. Their red shells are broken up by the surf into fine, soft pink colored sand.
