Introduction

Pink Lake is a stunning natural wonder in Western Australia. Contains Dunaliella salina algae that turns the water dreamlike pink — strong color contrast against blue sky and white salt flats. Color varies with season, salinity and weather. Best from aerial views — pink lake and blue ocean separated by narrow land. Note: color may not always be pink due to natural conditions. Nearby Hillier Lake may be more reliable. Visiting for the dreamlike pink salt lake is a unique WA experience.
