  • Watching waves splash onto the "Wedding Cake."
  • To watch the video, make sure your speakers are on and sound turned up, then click on the photo above. You may need to let it buffer a bit.

  • The "Wedding Cake" formation where you saw Ryan, Jess, and Travis a while ago is at the base of the "Crocodile Head" in the left portion of the photo.
  • Just across the beach from the Crocodile Head is this cave. The entrance is behind Travis. There is a large "picture window" about half way through (to your left here). Then it opens onto a shallow tidal flat behind me.
  • Everyone is now at the end of the tunnel over the shallow tidal flat. I have come across the flat to the opening of a second tunnel.
  • "Come on over, y'all!"
  • Here, I am standing in the shore-ward opening of the second tunnel, looking in. The far opening is under water, so where Ryan and Jess are standing, you can watch the water dance in front of you. I didn't get a good photo of that this time, but if you want to see a video of what it looks like, see the following album (the 4th "photo" of that album):<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.optimimagery.com/CNMI-ON-LAND/SAIPAN/MAY-23-2011-HIDDEN-BEACH-CAVES/17630947_tCCB2H">http://www.optimimagery.com/CNMI-ON-LAND/SAIPAN/MAY-23-2011-HIDDEN-BEACH-CAVES/17630947_tCCB2H</a>
  • We came. We saw. Now time to head back to the vehicle. Gotta go back through the same tunnels we passed through on the way.
  • Sneaking past the picture window.
  • As you can see, "Hidden Beach" lives up to its name for extreme seclusion.
  • We let the other tourists go ahead of us, and then moseyed up to the parking area.
  • To see what the area ABOVE Hidden Beach looks like, take a look at <a href="http://www.optimimagery.com/CNMI-ON-LAND/SAIPAN/JUNE-6-2011-ABOVE-HIDDEN-BEACH/17445965_TMzZFm">http://www.optimimagery.com/CNMI-ON-LAND/SAIPAN/JUNE-6-2011-ABOVE-HIDDEN-BEACH/17445965_TMzZFm</a>
