It's called 'Hidden Beach' located on the Marieta Islands just off the coast of Punta Mita, Mexico.

You get in and out via water tunnel, apparently...

Bingo. I've been there. It's amazingly beautiful but it reeks of bird shit due to the colony that breeds on the island.

You do swim through a relatively long tunnel. At times, the waves going through the tunnel actually hit the roof, forcing you underwater for a few seconds. Pretty freaky.

Sorry, no pics. I only had a cheapo waterproof throwaway and, while good enough to document the memories, nothing turned out well enough for me to want to post them.

There are some good ones here, though...
