Little Santa Cruz Island, located off the coast of Zamboanga City in the Philippines, is renowned for its pink sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Often referred to as 'Pink Beach' due to its unique coral sand mixed with crushed red organ pipe coral, this island offers a serene escape with vibrant marine life ideal for snorkeling and swimming. The beach provides a tropical paradise vibe, attracting visitors seeking tranquility and natural beauty, though its accessibility requires boat transfers from the mainland.
The island's unspoiled shoreline is divided into two sections—the main beach area and a sandbar that emerges during low tide. Local tours often include cultural insights into the indigenous Sama-Banguingui communities, adding a layer of historical and educational appeal to the visit.
