While this cotton candy color lake is a bit of a drive from Cancun, I can promise that the Lisa Frank moments will not be a disappointment. This pastel color gem is called Las Coloradas and is in a small fishing town on the coast of the Yucatan, and it is an absolutely magical sight. The vibrant pink color of the lake is due to red color algae, shrimp, and plankton that thrive in the salty water. Fun fact: The reason why flamingos are pink is because they eat these pink creatures in the lake — normally their feathers are white! The pink hue contrasted against the white salt hills will truly be a view to remember. Pack a picnic lunch, make sure you have your camera and your girls in tow, and the coast is yours.
