Komodo Diving
WHERE Pink Sand Beach on Komodo Island, Indonesia, so called for its extraordinary rosy color, the result of red-coral dust.
WHAT TO DO Snorkel and dive on the reef with swirling schools of fish, bright coral, and 70 species of sponges. Night diving is superb.
LOOK OUT FOR Wild pigs and the occasional Komodo Dragon. The pigs run at the sight of people, but watch out for the giant lizards.
