Marietas Islands — Hidden Beach
Hidden Beach Tour
A beautiful Hidden Beach beneath a natural skylight on the main island—out of sight and out of reach from the rest of the world. This tour from Sayulita grants you access to this magical hidden cove, with visitor numbers limited by the National Park so your experience won’t be overcrowded.
Located about an hour by boat from Sayulita, you’ll reach the Marietas Islands Hidden Beach where you can snorkel in crystal-clear water, swim the bay, relax in the shade, or enjoy the picturesque beach as the Pacific laps at your feet. The Hidden Beach is the ultimate island adventure!
