A nugget of nature

Protected from the outside world, the beach of the Marieta Islands is an open-air treasure but still well hidden in the sight of all.

Not only is this hidden beach located in a blossoming hole that opens onto the sky as if it were a crater where one would access by a white sandbank, but it must also be known that it is an old military zone that has now become a protected national park, the Parque Nacional Islas Marietas, inaugurated in 2005, and which extends over nearly 1,400 hectares.
