"Covered Hundreds of Meters": Pink Mystery Washes Ashore

With the summer vacation season approaching, what could have happened?

An ordinary sandy beach turned pink overnight.

The pink objects filling the beach look like flower petals or jelly at first glance.

It is a scene of millions of pink sea cucumbers washed ashore all at once on a beach in Rayong Province, eastern Thailand.

The sea cucumbers covered the beach for hundreds of meters, creating a spectacular sight that made the entire coastline appear as if it had been dyed pink.

Authorities, who were dispatched following reports from tourists, identified the creatures as "sea cucumbers" that inhabit the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

They explained that while it is common for marine life such as shellfish or crabs to be washed ashore during the monsoon season or due to rough waves, it is highly unusual for such a large swarm of sea cucumbers to cover a beach.
