When it comes to what to do in Hidden Beach, it's impossible not to mention an insanely popular activity: snorkeling. The coastal waters of the region are full of interesting views, which can be observed through a snorkeling mask. Well, if you do not have the necessary equipment for snorkeling - everything can be purchased at the nearby shops.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale.

In most cases, the question What to do on Hidden Beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach.

The beach offers stunning scenery and is an absolute beauty. To access it, you will need to swim from your boat. In case you are not proficient in swimming, your guide will be there to assist you. Skilled swimmers won't require a life vest. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to snorkel during your journey to the beach.

The cave is absolutely amazing, but if you plan on visiting, it's important to exercise caution.

The beach is a beautiful location with rocks and cliffs surrounding it. Although the water may not appear clear at first, once you venture outside the cave, you'll be amazed by its stunning crystal clarity.

This beach is absolutely stunning, but getting there can be quite a challenge. We had to swim and navigate through a narrow passage filled with rocks to discover this hidden gem.

Nestled amidst the limestone formations of Matinloc Island, this beach presents a remarkably stunning vista, complemented by the presence of monkeys scattered throughout its surroundings.
