Bahamas: Beach Pink Panther

Eleuthera, one of the islands of the Bahamas, known in this case for two reasons. One, for his curious and elongated shape: a corridor of sand 177 miles long by just three wide, fragmented into several islands by water channels as transparent as glass. 

Two: its famous pink sand beach, one of the rarest I've seen in my life. The beach is 5 kilometers long and is in Harbour Island, one of the islands in the northern tip of Eleuthera. The color microscopic organisms called foraminifera, whose shell is a bright pink color is due. When they die and are washed, the surf is responsible for shredding and turning them into natural coloring of the sand. 

When the Caribbean sun shines strongly, the pinkish tone of the beach along with the green of the shallow water and the range of blue, from light blue to dark, from the deeper areas, forming a riot of color to stay for hours gazing enraptured. 

Harbour Island In almost all houses are ground floor, made ​​of wood and dating as little of the nineteenth century. And people move with golf carts. A place where it is hard to get stressed. 

A Eleuthera is reached by boat from Nassau (three hours). Or by plane (20 minutes). Certainly the 20 minutes back were the most adrenaline in my life, in a very old plane piloted by a fat sweaty guy coming in and out of the cabin window.If it appears Indiana Jones co-pilot, I would not be surprised!
