Mexico The Pink Lagoon

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

The sea is so pink because red plankton and brine shrimp live in it. The chemicals of these animals cause the water to turn pink. The city of Las Coloradas used to be a salt mining town and that also explains the unusual landscape with salt flats. While here, you can also take a tour of the salt factory.

Photography Tips

Use your lens cap and protect your camera well against sand.
