What to wear while you’re there

Make sure to pack plenty of light, loose clothing for your trip to Pink Beach. You’ll be in the tropics, so it’ll be warm, humid and sunny for a large part of the day. Loose shirts and light trousers are perfect for the weather conditions you’ll find on the beach. Make sure to keep your bag light and free from anything that you don’t need. As you’ll be exploring a tropical beach, you’ll want to make sure that you’re protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Take plenty of sunscreen and maybe even a straw hat if you’re extra worried about the sun.

Bring sunscreen and a towel

There are few better feelings than soaking up the rays on a tropical beach. But you’ll want to make sure you protect your skin with sunscreen, otherwise you risk having burnt skin that will be in pain and unsightly for days after your trip. A beach towel is also essential to have. You’ll probably want to dry off in the sun after a swim in the sea. Beach towels can also be used as a cushion when you’re sitting on the ground.

Don’t forget your snorkel!

Visiting the waters around Pink Beach is a must for any ocean-loving traveller. The shallow waters mean that you needn’t be an expert diver to get a good look at a world-class array of sea life. Snorkelling is a great way to have a good look at the colourful world of fish and coral below, without having to spend years training in scuba diving. Be sure to pack your snorkel, fins and mask in your bag so that you don’t leave them behind!

Check the weather conditions before you go

You’ll want to make sure that you check the weather forecast before you leave for your trip to the Pink Beach of Komodo National Park. You’ll want to make sure that you visit during the dry season, which runs from May to October. This is the best time to visit Pink Beach as the weather conditions are optimal and you have the best chance of seeing the beautiful pink colour of the water. Although the dry season is the best time to visit Komodo National Park, the weather is much more predictable during the other months. During the wet season, you have a higher chance of encountering heavy rain.
