If you were to compare all of these lakes, you would find one interesting factor in common: they're salt lakes. Even the northern half of Utah's Great Salt Lake usually exhibits a color that's somewhere between pink and a deep red. Australia boasts multiple pink lakes, such as Lake Hillier, Pink Lake, and Hutt Lagoon.

Some of the most famous pink lakes around the world include the following: Ukraine's Lake Koyashskoe, Tanzania's Lake Natron, Azerbaijan's Masazir Lake, and Senegal's Lake Retba. Let's take a closer look at what gives these lakes their signature hue. They're natural WONDERS that can be found in many countries around the world. The water looks like a strawberry milkshake. We're not talking about a 'sunset reflecting off the water'-type of pink. You arrive and you're ready to dive in, but then you notice something odd.

A nice dip sounds refreshing, so you throw on your swimsuit, grab a towel, and head for the lake. On a visit to a foreign country, you hear the locals rave about a nearby lake.
