Incredible ‘Hidden Beach’
藏匿的海滩，墨西哥
Perhaps one of the worst-kept secrets in international tourism, Mexico’s stunning ‘hidden beach’, which forms part of the Islas Marietas, is situated just off the coast of the Riviera Nayarit. Despite recent controversy and temporary closure, the islands continue to make for one of the country’s most extraordinary destinations, and boast a wealth of flora, fauna and marine life. Here’s everything you need to know about this spectacular ‘hidden beach’.
在国际旅游业中保守得最糟糕的秘密之一，恐怕就要属墨西哥美丽的“藏匿的海滩”（hidden beach）了，它就位于里维拉-纳亚里特（Riviera Nayarit）海岸边，它是马里塔斯岛的一部分。尽管最近有争议和暂时关闭，但这些岛屿仍然是这个国家最特别的旅游胜地之一，并拥有丰富的动植物和海洋生物。关于这个壮观的“藏匿的海滩”，这里有你所需要知道的一切。
Otherwise known as the Playa del Amor, the soft sand and clear aquamarine waters are more popularly referred to as the ‘hidden beach’, and while it’s tricky to reach, it’s even harder to say goodbye to! Invisible from the outside, no boats can make their way into the petite bay, so would-be visitors must hop into the water and swim under the rocks to reach their paradisiacal destination where only swimming and sunbathing is allowed.
又被称为帕雅德尔阿莫尔，松软的沙滩和清澈的海蓝色海水更普遍地被称为“藏匿的海滩”，虽然很难到达，但要说再见就更难了！从外面看不见，没有船只可以进入这个小小的海湾，所以游客们必须跳入水中、游过水中的岩石，才能到达这个天堂般的目的地，那里只允许游泳和日光浴。
The strange formation of the ‘hidden beach’ is said to be due to military explosives testing in the 1900s, which left several craters and caves on the islands. However, an outcry led by Jacques Cousteau in the 1960s put an end to this practice, along with any other harmful human intervention.
“藏匿的海滩”离奇存在的原因据说是由于19世纪的军事爆炸物试验，在岛上留下了几个弹坑和洞穴。然而，一场抗议活动让雅克·库斯托（Jacques Cousteau）这个20世纪60年代的领导人结束了这种做法，以及任何其他有害的人为干预。
How do you get there?
你怎么到那里的？
While the Islas Marietas are technically under the jurisdiction of the state of Nayarit, they are arguably a more popular destination for tourists in the coastal Jalisco town of Puerto Vallarta. In fact, the boat ride to reach them takes little more than an hour and there are a selection of companies and schedules to choose from. You can also depart from Nuevo Vallarta (Nayarit), La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Bucerías and Punta de Mita though. If you do decide to visit, plan in advance to get a spot on a tour (access is no longer permitted on Mondays and Tuesdays) and follow the guidelines to minimise damage to the environment.
虽然从技术上讲，马里亚斯岛属于纳亚里特州的管辖范围，但可以说，在沿海的贾利斯科镇（Puerto Vallarta）中，它们更受游客欢迎。事实上，乘船到达他们只需要一个多小时，而且有很多公司和时间表可供选择。您也可以从新瓦拉塔（Nayarit）、La Cruz de Huanacastle、Bucerías和Punta de Mita出发。如果你真的决定去参观，请提前计划好一个旅游景点（周一和周二不再允许进入），并遵循指南，尽量减少对环境的破坏。
