User reviews
"As part of our boat tour, accessing this beach is not as straightforward as Zipolite. It's a pleasant spot to relax, but be aware that shade is scarce and the resort/restaurant owns the umbrellas, meaning you must purchase food and/or drinks. If you're seeking a tranquil beach with fewer crowds, consider checking out the small hotels in the vicinity."
Eliana Vargas.
"The Hidden beach is a quaint and serene location with limited visitors. It has earned a spot among the top 10 beaches in Mexico for its breathtaking beauty. The crystal-clear turquoise water is a sight to behold and will leave you in awe."
