世界七大匪夷所思的自然現(xiàn)象（五）

Hidden Beach, Mexico

墨西哥世外桃源沙灘

It’s a vacationer’s dream: a secret beach tucked away from the masses, with shade, sun and pristine water. And this dream comes true at Playa Del Amor, more commonly known as Hidden Beach, on one of the Marieta Islands off the coast of Mexico.

這是度假者夢(mèng)寐以求的地方：一片有陽(yáng)光、陰涼處和未被污染的海水而又遠(yuǎn)離喧囂的沙灘。埃莫海灘便是他們最理想的度假場(chǎng)所，這片位于墨西哥海岸瑪麗埃塔群島的沙灘也被稱為世外桃源沙灘。

The unlikely source of this magical little secret: a bomb blast, according to Quora user Siddhartha Das. Mexico began testing bombs in the uninhabited Marieta Islands in the early 1900s, resulting in a gaping hole in the surface of one of the islands. Over time, tides filled the hole with sand and water, creating a secluded watery Eden where determined beach bums can swim, sunbathe and kayak largely out of sight.

Quora用戶悉達(dá)多•達(dá)斯說(shuō)，造就這片非凡之地的奧秘是一場(chǎng)炸彈引爆事件。墨西哥在上世紀(jì)初開(kāi)始在無(wú)人居住的瑪麗埃塔群島試驗(yàn)炸彈，他們?cè)谄渲幸粋€(gè)小島上炸出了窟窿。時(shí)間一長(zhǎng)，潮水帶來(lái)的細(xì)沙和海水覆蓋了這個(gè)炸彈洞，造就了這個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離喧囂的海上伊甸園，海濱達(dá)人在這里游泳，曬日光浴，劃皮艇。

Playa Del Amor, literally Lover’s Beach, is invisible from the outside, but visitors can access it through a 24m-long tunnel that links the secluded beach to the ocean.

埃莫海灘的字面意思是“戀人海灘”。除了通過(guò)一條連接海洋的24米長(zhǎng)的隧道，沒(méi)有其他辦法能到達(dá)這片沙灘。
