Hillier Lake, Australia

This magnificent pink colored lake is located on Middle Island in Western Australia. 

Why is it pink? I have no clue. Originally, scientists believed that it was the pigmented algae that lived in the water that made pink. However, that is not the case. Even until this day, no one can explain why the lake is pink. 

Not only do you get a beau view of a pink lake, surrounding the lake is a beautiful piece of land. There are lots of trees and it is filled with lots of mother nature.
 
Clearly, even when you take the water out of the lake, the water still maintains a pink shade. However, I have heard that it is not always pink though, so people would have to figure out a perfect time to actually visit the lake.

Can people swim in it?

Based on my research, the answer is YES! However, the lake is extremely salty...

Funny how the lake is extremely close to the ocean, yet it still remains an extremely distinct pink.
