Access this secluded sandy beach by swimming 80 meters (260 ft) through a natural ocean tunnel.
Playa del Amor sits entirely inside a collapsed volcanic crater. CONANP heavily restricts access to protect the ecosystem. Only 116 people can enter the crater each day.
The beach is completely closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. You must book an authorized tour with a specific permit to enter. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes and bring a waterproof camera.

This natural rock tunnel connects the open ocean to the interior crater. You must swim the full 80 meters (260 ft) independently in open water. Park rules require you to wear a life jacket and a helmet at all times in the tunnel.
15-20 minutesStrict time limits
The tunnel opens onto a golden sand beach entirely enclosed by rock walls. It is completely open to the sky above. Park rangers strictly limit your time here to a maximum of 15 to 20 minutes. Take your photos quickly and respect the wildlife.

This large rocky archway marks the exterior entrance to the swimming tunnel. You will see it from the deck of your authorized tour boat. Snap your photos of the arch before you jump into the water for your swim.
