The answer is true.

Beaches of Bermuda are lined with coral reefs, which are a place where red foraminifera are found. The foraminifera are the single-celled marine organisms classified as protists., They live in shells made of calcium carbonate with a red colour. Shells of foraminifera collect on the ocean floor and get washed to shore by the tide and that’s what makes beach looks pink on the sun.
