Name: This tiny, hidden beach might seem like a peaceful escape, but don't be fooled by its shallow waters. The amount of plastic and garbage strewn about is enough to make you question if you're actually at the dump. We had to take matters into our own hands and pick up the trash ourselves. Despite the initial disappointment, we were able to snorkel and catch a glimpse of some vibrant fish. But let's be real, the ocean creatures are probably just as disgusted by the litter as we are.
