The Marietas Islands, the Mexican Galapagos
The Hidden Beach (Lovers' Beach) The islands are now, as stated, quite famous for what is known as the "hidden beach" or Lovers' Beach (Playa del Amor), a unique beach that can easily be spotted from the air through a crater in one of the islands, from the sea it's not that obvious as there is only a small tunnel when the tide is low.
This underground beach was, as you can imagine, concealed from view for quite some time and was actually found thanks to, no less, those very bombs that were destroying the island, talk about a mixed blessing... You could get into the crater by either jumping off the ledge on top and into the sea below (not recommended and actually forbidden) or swimming through the short tunnel carved by the sea from the ocean side and into the crater, where you'll be able to land on this incredible beach. It's a bit scary and exhilarating at the same time to go through this tunnel, especially when the waves bring you close to the top of the passageway.
