Witness one of nature's most surreal spectacles at places like Australia's Lake Hillier, Senegal's Lake Retba, or Utah's Great Salt Lake. These bubble-gum colored waters get their pink hue from algae and bacteria, creating an otherworldly landscape that looks almost too magical to be real.

โ€œFirst off, however, keep your expectations in check. Hutt Lagoon changes color depending on time of day and time of year, and when we first saw it, it was a silvery blue with a hint of pink. Is that it? I thought. [...] Then as the sun dipped beneath the horizon, the pinks and purples came out from every direction. Yes. This was absolutely worth it.โ€

โ€œI visited the lake in September, just missing the reportedly best, or should I say peak pink period between November and June. Although not soaked in the intense flamingo pink shade that I had seen online, Lake Retba was definitely worth the trip. Learning about and meeting some of the workers who engage in salt harvesting was both interesting and eye-opening.โ€
