15 pink lakes around the world that look like they're in a fairy tale

Pink lakes are natural phenomena caused by high salinity, sunlight, and microorganisms such as the algae Dunaliella salina, which produce red pigment (beta-carotene) to survive.

Located mostly in Western Australia (e.g., Hutt Lagoon, Lake Hillier), these vibrant, often seasonal ecosystems are found throughout the world, ranging in color from pale red to bright pink.

Many of these lakes are located in areas with high salinity and can be unsafe for swimming, especially in those with high alkali content or extreme temperatures, but are wonderful to behold. 

Hillier, Australia – The famous pink lake that retains its color even when the water is taken in a glass.

Hutt, Australia – Changes colors from light pink to red, especially before sunset.

Grassmere, New Zealand – Known for its salt production and seasonal pink color.

Senegal – Also known as "Lac Rose", which turns pink especially during the dry season.
