2 Pink Sand Beaches in the Philippines
1. Great Sta. Cruz Island
Pink Sand Beach of Sta Cruz Island – outoftownblog.com
Great Sta. Cruz Island is where most travelers flock together. It is considered as the number 1 tourist spot in Zamboanga City in Mindanao. It became more popular due to the presence of pink sand beach. Recently, it was included in the list of 21 best beaches in the world by National Geographic.
The real reason why the sand is pink is that the color of the corals are pink. Since many years of clashing waves passed by, fine fragments of corals mixed with the sand on the beach and made it pink over the past years.
This beach is really very amazing. If you want to go and have some swimming here, just bring your own swimming and snorkeling gears.
You can also enjoy eating seafood from the locals in Great Sta. Cruz Island.
If you want to visit this beach, coordinate first with the Tourism Office in Zamboanga in order to provide you maximum security. Your stay in the beach is of limited time of the day so make sure enjoy every moment with your families and friends.
2. Sila Island

Absolutely beautiful. I would really like to visit the Philippines if I could afford it. I am sure the expense to go would be quite high. I live in America in the state of South Carolina.
