The Pink Beach, Protected beach on Budelli Island, La Maddalena archipelago, Italy.
The sand of this beach contains a mixture of crushed fossils, coral fragments, and marine organism remains that create its pink coloration.
The Italian government established strict protection measures in 1994 to prevent visitors from removing the pink sand as souvenirs from the beach.
The beach represents a natural monument within the La Maddalena National Park, emphasizing the connection between nature preservation and local identity.
Visitors can only observe the beach from boats during guided tours, as direct access to the sand is prohibited to maintain its preservation.
The sand obtains its pink color from microscopic fragments of Miniacina miniacea organisms mixed with granite particles from the surrounding rocks.
