AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Top contributor 8 Fifty Productions brings us this drone video from a little known beach in Puerto Rico. It's called Mar Chiquita Beach, and it's situated on a tiny, nearly enclosed bay near the center of the island's northern (Atlantic Ocean) coastline. It's about a 45 minute drive west of San Juan via Route 22 and a similar length drive east of Arecibo. The name of the beach derives from a local legend, in which a woman was pulled into the water from an earthquake and was pulled back to the shore via a break that opened in the rocks.

A legend explains how the beach was formed: A beautiful Puerto Rican woman used to walk along near the edge of the cliff. One day as she was walking, an earthquake caused her to slip and fall into the ocean. Miraculously, part of the cliff breaks, the current that began to flow between the rocks pulled her back to the shore, saving her life. Mar Chiquita was formed and remains today for everyone to enjoy.
