This secluded paradise, with its sandy beaches and crystal clear warm water, is believed to have formed decades ago when it was used as target practice by the Mexican Government prior to World War I in the early 1900s.
Marc Rougier's insight:
Marieta Islands. Hard to believe it was created by a bomb. Surprising place anyway.

"When viewed from above, a runoff of sand and silt creates the impression of an ‘underwater waterfall’, just off the coast of the island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean."
Marc Rougier's insight:
I've been there but from the ground you don't realize. Gorgeous pics and great info in this post.

By looking at this picture you automatically think its a waterfall within the water. This image is actually just showing the mix of sand and silt deposits mixing together. The light to dark colors is what makes it look like a waterfall.

Another spectacular sight. Of course, you will need a plane or helicopter to venture above it to see it, but this illusion is pretty nifty.

Smugglers - Greece
Somehow, when we think dream beaches we think Carribeans or Pacific. Here is a fantastic beach of the Mediterranean sea.

Sadly, cannot swim there (national park). But amazingly beautiful. Big Sur is also a song by The Thrills.

I'm a native of Vietnam and have been back several times. And yet, I have never gone to beautiful Ha Long Bay. :(

Hello Baochi,
You need to put it in your to do list!
I've been to several beaches in this topic but not to Ha Long yet. Have seen many pics (and movies) of it and I just cannot believe it. Amazing scenery; will go one day!
Oh, there is a topic about travelling in Vietnam in Scoop.it (it's in French tho: http://www.scoop.it/t/voyage-au-coeur-du-vietnam)

Boulder Beach (South Africa)
It's spring time there! Boulder beach, granite boulders and pinguin colony, south of Cape Town. About the pinguins: 4 of them arrived there 30 years ago, now they are more than 3000!
