The island across from the Lantaka Hotel By the Sea in Zamboanga is famous for its pink sands. Why are the sands here pink?

The Great and Little Santa Cruz Islands' respective Pink and White Sand Beaches are, arguably, this city's best beaches, and one of the country's best. In its ideal natural state, there is no comparison to the uniquely beautiful "pinkish" sand (a coloration effect of pulverized rare red Organ-pipe Coral - tubipora musica - from eons of surf erosion mixed in with the white sand) and colorful coral reef just a few feet away from the shore of the Great Santa Cruz Island. The "Pink Sand Beach" of Great Santa Cruz Island is rare, and is one of the very few found in the entire world. There is over three miles of this rare pink sand beach encircling the beautiful island.

I cannot resist this question it's like a magnet was pulling me towards it.
Forget the mumbo jumbo (joke) the other's are going to tell you. The truth is Well used to live there and every morning and afternoon he could be seen rolling in the pristine white sands. And then he dyed his hair pink---the rest is history.
My apologies for those who print the facts, though you must admit that fiction is sometimes better than fact.
