Retba Lake, better known as Lac Rose (Pink Lake), is the world's largest pink body of water, measuring around 1.5 x 5 km (0.9 x 3 miles) at low water. A shallow lagoon, located 30 km (18 miles) north of Dakar, Senegal - famous as the last leg in the Paris-Dakar Rally - Lac Rose's intense colour is the result of micro-organisms and a strong concentration of minerals.
