Elafonissi is a small, uninhabited island and protected nature reserve located on the southwestern coast of Crete, Greece, connected to the mainland by a shallow, walkable lagoon. The sand's unique pink hue is caused by the accumulation and crushing of millions of tiny red and pink shells from microscopic marine organisms called Foraminifera, which live in the nearby seagrass meadows.
