Amazing beach in Mexico
What makes the beach unusual is its location, concealment from human eyes. It is completely visible only from the air, on the other sides the beach is closed by forests and rocks. Thanks to the hole in the funnel, which has an oval shape, the sun penetrates the beach. The rest of the area is in the shade.

This atypical arrangement is significant given the temperature conditions of Mexico, which is close to the equator. The average temperature in summer reaches 35-40 degrees. Having external protection from the wind and partly from the sun, the water and air of the beach do not heat up so much. The Marietas Islands are also called the biological reserve of the planet, because. they have a rich flora and fauna.
In the late 1960s, Jacques Yves Cousteau, a well-known explorer, raised the issue of the need to protect these territories at the state level.
Through his international protests, government attention was drawn. Only in 2005, the islands, and the beach in particular, were given the status of a National Park.

In 2008, the islands attracted the attention of UNESCO and were included in the list of specially protected biosphere objects of the world. From now on, any human intervention in the ecosystem of the islands was prohibited: hunting, fishing and other anthropogenic impact.
The beach in Mexico has received the official name Playa de Amor - the beach of love, due to the romantic atmosphere it creates.
However, among tourists it is better known as a hidden beach. It has gained its greatest popularity in recent decades thanks to the beautiful photographs posted by tourists on social networks.
