13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Playa Escondida in Puerto Vallarta

The Hidden Beach is only accessible by swimming through a 100-foot tunnel. This can be potentially dangerous, especially when the swells are high and can knock the swimmer against the tunnel’s ceiling. The swim through is incredibly exhausting but exhilarating and the reward is catching your breath on this gorgeous white-sand beach.
