Bermuda's Pink Beaches

Bermuda's Natural Colours (colors)

Our pink beaches are actually formed by the skeletal remains of a small creature called the red foram found on the undersides of rocks.  Because Bermuda doesn't have any rivers carrying sediments into the sea, our surrounding waters lack nutrients.  Our shallows are turquoise in color because phytoplankton levels here are low as a result of reduced nutrient intensities.  This lack of phytoplankton and the clear seas permit the sun's rays to be reflected off the shallow sandy bottom, giving our waters their famous turquoise hue.
