The pink sea is a natural phenomenon that occurs for about half of the year. Depending on the season and recent climate conditions, it can display varying shades of pink. There are two seasons when you can experience the pink salts: the primary season from December to April, and the secondary season in August and September.

This is actually a salt mine, and the transformation of the salt’s color to a pink hue is due to brightly colored, salt-loving microbes that produce pigmented protein to harness the sun’s solar energy.
