5 Best Swimming Holes In The World
Ojos del Salar
The Ojos del Salar “The Eyes of the Salt Flat” are perfectly round, freshwater lakes that open up seemingly in the middle of nowhere, about 20 miles from the town of San Pedro de Atacama.
They are accessed from a sandy road, and these two freshwater lakes are commonly visited as part of a larger trip to two other lakes in the area, the Laguna de Cejar and Laguna Tebenquiche.
The Giola Lagoon
Giola is not exactly a beach but a natural sea lagoon carved in the rocks. It looks like a swimming pool with sizes 2Ox15 meters.
Located in Thassos Island, this unique water reservoir is rinsed and filled by the lapping ocean water beside it.
The lagoon is flanked on all sides by a rocky cliff-face that rises to a halo around the warm emerald waters..
Bimmah Sinkhole
Bimmah Sinkhole means Meteor Fall Park in Arabic. The name suggests that a meteor may have struck this spot and revealed a treasure.
But the truth is, the sinkhole was created by the usual natural reasons: limestone erosion and the collapse of rocks. The sinkhole is connected to the sea through an underground tunnel.
If you’re heading to the Al Sharqiyah governate from the Muscat governate of Oman, you can always make a stop-over at Hawiyam Najm Park where the sinkhole is located.
Marieta Island
With crystal clear waters and sandy beaches, the origins of this idyllic paradise come as a surprise — it is, in fact, the world's most picturesque bomb site.
This secluded strip of sand is believed to have formed when it was used as target practice by the Mexican government in the early 1900s.
Where you might expect to find ruins and devastation; here, instead, is a sensational, deserted beach on the Marieta Islands in Puerto Vallarta.
To reach this secluded marvel, visitors have to swim through a short tunnel which opens up into the spectacular beach, which is teeming with rare wildlife.
Hamilton Pool Preserve
Hamilton Pool Preserve is a natural pool that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago.
It is located about 23 miles west of Austin off Highway 71. Since the 1960s, Hamilton Pool has been a favorite summer swimming spot for Austin visitors and residents.
It consists of 232 acres of protected natural habitat featuring a jade green pool into which a 50-foot waterfall flows.
