Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Where is this?

[–]Lurkerhereduh 65 points66 points ago

Marieta Islands at Puerto Vallarta Mexico

[–]sid2112 15 points16 points ago

I am so buying that place when I get rich.

[–]shane727 6 points7 points ago

God damnit I was just there and the water looked nothing like this! And there was no cool hollow volcano to swim in near me! Humph

[–]rakied 1 point2 points ago

I think this time of year is a terrible time to go to Puerto Vallarta...

[–]terrynova 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty pissed I missed this while in that area!

[–]lil_buddha 81 points82 points ago

Most likely an extinct shield volcano over a shifting faultline that's caved in in just the perfect way. Man...I love geology.

[–]gypsystomper 117 points118 points ago

geology rocks!

[–]AlSpeer 6 points7 points ago

Geology - only for gneiss guys.

[–]mcsvor 0 points1 point ago

This made my day.

[–]Cookies_4_Breakfast -1 points0 points ago

Have an upthrust.

[–]lil_buddha 12 points13 points ago

Would you be oh so offended if I took that and maybe have a guy I know print it onto a shirt for me? With swagger like that we could finally kick the chem majors off of their pedestal muahaha.

[–]Kubaker1 10 points11 points ago

I think what you're looking for exists already.

[–]ColonelCupcakes 2 points3 points ago

Never take it for granite

[–]Splyntr 1 point2 points ago

Jesus Christ Marie!

[–]cheebnrun 0 points1 point ago

Geology minerals

[–]chelseyc 5 points6 points ago

Wish it was! It was actually created by testing out bombs :( really cool place though!

Source: I was there 4 months ago

[–]notmyrealnamethistim 8 points9 points ago

OR earth's butthole.

[–]Stretch153 -1 points0 points ago

More likely it's a Cenote. There are a lot of them throughout central America.

[–]lil_buddha 0 points1 point ago

Depends largely on where it is.Seeming as Central America isn't exactly famed for its abundance of tectonic fault lines,so you're probably right.

[–]simpletonsavant 105 points106 points ago

I really wish when people give pictures like this, they would put the name of the place in the title. I'm kind of tired having to read 30 comments just to get to the name.

[–]Scrauz 17 points18 points ago

But then it wouldn't be hidden.

[–]simpletonsavant 13 points14 points ago

True, but then I won't have to kill their entire family.

[–]MicrowaveableDonut 0 points1 point ago

this. again and again and again.

[–]IFUCKINGLOVEMETH 1 point2 points ago

Calm your kegels, lady.

[–]CitizenPremier 1 point2 points ago

Marieta Island Mexico. Install Google Image Search in your browser, son!

[–]piero1255 1 point2 points ago

It's in Mexico bud, don't remeber the name sorry only went there once as a kid.

[–]simpletonsavant 0 points1 point ago

Yeah its in the comment section, but it was buried behind 18 comments. This happens to me at minimum once per day, and I'm pretty sure these jackasses do it on purpose, just to spite me.

[–]Blower_Of_Whistles 47 points48 points ago

how the fuck do you get in and out

[–]jojobombiest 21 points22 points ago

You swim in from the ocean making it that much more fucking epic.

[–]LopanIndeed 6 points7 points ago

Looks pretty safe/easy. http://www.forangelsonly.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2-600x450.jpg

[–]crazytigerr 8 points9 points ago

That would be scary as shit.

[–]Blower_Of_Whistles 1 point2 points ago

agreed

[–]NarcissisticNerd 5 points6 points ago

You need a pokemon with surf.

[–]vanev04 8 points9 points ago

That was my only though hahaha. It looks amazing but how the hell you get in/out of there?

[–]FHSlaughter 0 points1 point ago

Very, very carefully

[–]phriend2spin 5 points6 points ago

The water isn't that deep. Just stand up.

[–]AnarchoPanda 3 points4 points ago

you don't you live and death there

[–]JellyTip 6 points7 points ago

Indead.

[–]Doovid97 22 points23 points ago

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...

[–]huckyourmeat 14 points15 points ago

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.

[–]funkyman94 0 points1 point ago

pix?

[–]huckyourmeat 0 points1 point ago

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...
http://olasbuenas.com/page/5/ (you can see the tunnel in the third pic)

http://soyvallartense.blogspot.com/2012/08/playa-escondida-hiden-beach-islas.html (Spanish language but a good pic of the tunnel)

[–]redjubear 35 points36 points ago

Porco rosso lives here.

[–]MedicalMechanica 7 points8 points ago

Holy shit, the very first thought that came to mind when I saw this.

I'd rather be a pig than a fascist.

[–]Simonific 1 point2 points ago

Yes!

[–]desitheredhead 12 points13 points ago

Perfect for a redhead!

[–]spupy -1 points0 points ago

You have the NERV to make some subtle references.

[–]antemon 2 points3 points ago

Is there an NGE reference here that I'm not getting?

[–]ziplokk 0 points1 point ago

I was wondering the same thing. Im just confused now.

[–]spupy 0 points1 point ago

Yes, I thought he was making a reference, so I also made one.

[–]spupy 0 points1 point ago

I think that's the reference he was making, so I was responding with a pun.

[–]c4seyj0nes 1 point2 points ago

I was going to say that this would be perfect for my fair skinned wife, the beach with plenty of shade.

[–]QuickAGiantRabbit 2 points3 points ago

And then the water rises...

[–]akidwhoplaysguitar 4 points5 points ago

since humans float in water, couldn't you just 'float' your way to the top if the water level rose?

[–]KingKaiwi 3 points4 points ago

Alright, now how do we get out?

[–]vidsizler 3 points4 points ago

It looks exactly like one of the galaxies from one of the Super Mario Galaxy games

[–]bloodybelly42 6 points7 points ago

This looks like the place from the island with Leonardo dicrapio

[–]amazingblondel 7 points8 points ago

The Beach. That was my first thought as well.

[–]spasms 11 points12 points ago

The Beach was filmed at Phi Phi in Thailand. It's pronounced. Pee Pee. Not far from Bangkok. Teehee.

[–]RiskRegsiter 1 point2 points ago

Maya beach/island in phi phi

[–]Literal_LOL -1 points0 points ago

Underrated movie. One of my faves!

[–]Chairman-Meeow 1 point2 points ago

Repost?

[–]Leap-Day_William 0 points1 point ago

Absolutely.

[–]Jiminy_Crickets_Hat 2 points3 points ago

What if the most beautiful places on earth were shared with the bravest of explorers?

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 2 points3 points ago

Surprisingly, I've seen this picture as "Like if you would go here!" shit on facebook before I saw it on Reddit.. What is happening.

[–]VicYesterday 0 points1 point ago

Not hidden anymore!

[–]Bravado1140 0 points1 point ago

Is this considered an atoll?

[–]Havokk 1 point2 points ago

my favorite saying in college was "Geologist know what makes the Bed-rock!"

[–]AlSpeer 2 points3 points ago

That's a gneiss pun.

[–]focusandachieve 0 points1 point ago

Quartz the joke? I don't get it.

[–]belovely 0 points1 point ago

Need. Wallpaper.

[–]SexualArtillery 1 point2 points ago

does it leads outside or does it collect piss forever.

[–]mr_wowtrousers 0 points1 point ago

?? Given there are breaking waves and what looks like a tide line I am assuming you can swim and and out

[–]KindaBitey 0 points1 point ago

Hubby and I looked at this. This is what popped in my head, so I sang "Mexico, Fuck Yeah!" Hubby followed with "we're gonna go to a beach in a Volcano!" I love him.

[–]taint-misbehavin -1 points0 points ago

I'm now making it a point to comment in this thread every time I see this picture. I missed my first 15 chances, but this is #1.

[–]WetBandits 0 points1 point ago

The Eye of the World.

[–]AlbertoFedrigotti 1 point2 points ago

So, so, so, so, so much sex has been done there.

[–]notsonerdy 0 points1 point ago

this is incredible

[–]frankiefourshot 1 point2 points ago

This reminds me of the movie The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio.

[–]pizzaroll9000 1 point2 points ago

Well, it is safe to say we can remove the "Hidden" part of it now. #theredditeffect

[–]FrozenFlamez 0 points1 point ago

Super Mario Galaxy, anyone?

[–]tophmctoph 0 points1 point ago

There was a place in everquest that was part of the mage epic that looked very similar to this and felt equally as tranquil in game.

[–]xoxoUT -1 points0 points ago

This is gorgeous. Where is it?

[–]Nerdlingers 0 points1 point ago

Until it collapses and kills you and anyone you ever cared about in one swift shift.

[–]Frankoharris 0 points1 point ago

I think we've all seen enough of this on our facebook feeds already...

[–]Alienkid -1 points0 points ago

Anyone have the coordinates to that place?

[–]schuhshine 0 points1 point ago

anybody think porko roso??

[–]Natasya95 0 points1 point ago

i wish i can go there

[–]Iditto 0 points1 point ago

reminds me of The Beach

[–]derpette6767 0 points1 point ago

Where is this?

[–]CosmicBard 0 points1 point ago

It WAS hidden, until people like you reposted it here for the thousandth time.

[–]ThaD00D 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone know where this is

[–]SpiritedLion 0 points1 point ago

I wonder what lurks in the dark corners.

[–]bagada 0 points1 point ago

Suddenly... Volcano

[–]BamaCrimsonTide -5 points-4 points ago

Dude this picture is posted like every other week.

[–]I_doubt_everything 11 points12 points ago

Oh I've never seen it before..

[–]lukedoyle24 -1 points0 points ago

This pic is posted every week or so. Plz stop

[–]barc0001 1 point2 points ago

Two things:

  1. For every one of you who bitches about a repost, there's 10 of us who haven't seen it before and are glad someone (re)posted it.

  2. You haven't posted a picture in 5 months. You want new content on Reddit, get off your ass and help.

[–]thebananabob -1 points0 points ago

629262728th repost of this.

[–]vadvaro10 1 point2 points ago

omg! i haven't seen this before.

at least since last night...

oh, well. at least you got karma. but seriously, this fucking beach is like the new logo for reddit. i think in one night it was posted three times...

[–]FriedTwinkies 0 points1 point ago

[–]ipompa 12 points13 points ago

Marieta Islands at Puerto Vallarta Mexico

[–]foo_fighter 1 point2 points ago

[–]JohnWesternburg 11 points12 points ago

It's what Detroit has turned into since everyone left and never went back.

[–]weedmonkey 2 points3 points ago

[–]Fleshflayer -2 points-1 points ago

Christ, not again.

[–]SlyFunkyMonk -4 points-3 points ago

I'll ask the same question my brother's friend asked during an intense multiplayer match of Conquer's Bad Fur Day (N64):

"How do you get to there?!"

[–]aphir -2 points-1 points ago

Watch dat bitch just collapes on em.

[–]cloudedknife 0 points1 point ago

how many fucking times a week does this specific picture or some other picture of this specific place need to be posted before every redditor can see it and the damned karma whores stop?

[–]terk117 1 point2 points ago

Repost you karma whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also my GF reposted this so i feel i have to call her out on it

[–]liquidpaperandbees -3 points-2 points ago

I swear I see this at least 3 times a week on Reddit.

[–]Amonica -4 points-3 points ago
