Video Shows Deer on Pink Beach in Indonesia: A Rare Sight

Share:

When it comes to beaches, this particular spot is renowned for the beauty of its sand that stretches along the coast. But have you ever set foot on a beach with sand that blushes pink?

As the name implies, Pink Beach is a tourist destination in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, which is famous for its beautiful pink sand.

In addition to enjoying its beauty, tourists can also watch herds of tame deer on the island’s coastline. Herds of tame deer can also be found on Komodo Island and Pink Beach.

Indeed, beyond the usual beach activities, a fascinating aspect of Pink Beach is the potential encounter with these gentle creatures, a rare and delightful experience.

As captured in the TikTok @naumerc video, two deer were found leisurely strolling on the pink shoreline, creating a scene that was both surreal and breathtakingly beautiful.

It was so beautiful that many people commented that the video was AI, even though the creator immediately replied that the video was 100% original.

“This is Labuan bajo Indonesia🥰 welcome to Pink Beach,” wrote a netizen.

“Most Indonesians really want to go there, but flight tickets are so expensive for most locals 🥺 ” There are also those who comment that tickets to Pink Beach are expensive.

Not all tourists who come here can experience the rare moment of meeting a deer. These deer usually come down to the beach to drink the seawater on the shoreline.

Getting off the tour boat on Padar Island, tourists can see a herd of deer walking along the shoreline near the pier. The deer look tame. They walk close to tourists and do not move away when approached.

As reported by Detik, a souvenir trader on Padar Island revealed that around 10 deer are commonly seen on the shoreline near the Padar Island pier. “Yes, the deer are tame; there are about 10 of them here,” he said when talking at his stall next to the young coconut seller’s stall.

According to Asri, the herd of deer usually comes to eat young coconut shells that are wasted there. He said the deer did not care about the hubbub of tourists around them.

BTNK (Taman Nasional Komodo) head Hendrikus Rani Siga said that deer in Komodo National Park become tame because they often interact with humans. “Their behaviour changes (to become tame) because they often interact with humans, with tourists,” Hendrikus said, as reported by Detik.

Many foreign tourists who vacation there complain about the absence of toilets at Long Pink Beach and Pink Beach in the Komodo National Park (TN) area.

This has become a hot topic of discussion in the Indonesian media. When viewed, tourists usually spend about 1-2 hours at Pink Beach or Long Pink Beach. The activities they do vary, ranging from snorkelling, walking along the beach, and playing in the sand to sitting in the small stalls available.

Every day, dozens of tour boats bring tourists the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of these two beaches. However, tourists must return to the ship when they want to relieve themselves.

Long Pink Beach is located on the north side of Padar Island, while Pink Beach is on Komodo Island. Both beaches are famous for their unique pink sand that attracts tourists from all over.
