So Blushing Pink!

It's no blushing matter! The famous three mile beach on Harbour Island, Bahamas, tops the Condé Nast Traveller editors 2016 list of the eight most beautiful pink sand beaches in the world. There's a reason why the sand is a soft lustrous pink. The colour comes from a microscopic organism called foraminifera. The organism has a reddish-pink shell, while the sand itself is a blend of crushed coral, shells and calcium carbonate. The Harbour Island beach is a stunning stretch of soft pink against a backdrop of a brilliant turquoise swatch of the Atlantic Ocean. Harbour Island real estate is a treasure and is home to a happy blend of friendly locals and international celebs. Many of the lovely island homes resemble Cape Codders and dot the picturesque narrow lanes of the tiny island or sit perched above the beach with sweeping vistas.
