This iconic surf beach draws a good number of non-surfers who travel there just to witness the 'parting-sea' and of course, take insta-worthy pictures! It is possibly the closest we can get to see how Moses split the red sea in modern time and walk in between parted seawater.

Do you know why the water is pink?

The pink water is caused by the lake's high salinity levels, combined with salt-loving algae and pink bacteria known as halobacteria. In fact, when the water level is low, the beach will look even brighter due to the concentration of salts!

As such, the actual colour of the beach will change according to time and seasons.

Apart from Cactus Beach, check out Lake Hillier, Whitehaven Beach and both are equally beautiful in their own ways!
