It only takes less than 30min from town to the unusual lake that’s its vivid pink color. The Lake is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by narrow dunes. The distinct pink color is as a result of Dunaliella salina bacteria that are attracted by the salt in the lake. The bacteria emit a red pigment to absorb the sunlight, hence the lake’s unique pink color.
The Lake’s color is visible mostly in the dry season (that starts from November – June), and it’s less in the rainy season (Jul to October).
