Pink Lake, Port Gregory

Pink Lake, also known as Hutt Lagoon, is a marine salt lake located near the Indian Ocean coast in Western Australia. The lake is known for its striking pink color, which is due to the presence of carotenoid-producing algae. The lake covers an area of approximately 70 square kilometers and is separated from the Indian Ocean by a beach barrier ridge and barrier dune system. The lake's color changes throughout the day and year, depending on the time of day, season, and amount of cloud cover.

The nearby Port Gregory Caravan Park offers accommodation and tour options to explore the lake and surrounding area. The lake is also home to a variety of wildlife, including emus, kangaroos, and lizards
