Spring

 We've known for several years there was a cave and fresh-water spring at the base of the cliff near the beach called Dunas. Dunas is past Villa Pesquera about 6 miles east of Ola Lola's. Hole 13 of the Royal Isabela Golf Club is on top of the cliff, right straight up the cliff face.As I said, we've know about it for a long time but never found it until yesterday. The spring came up again in a conversation with our friends Stanley, David and Tito Monday night and we decided to hike back and look for it again. This time we found it.

It's a beautiful setting with lush greenery hanging over the cave and ferns growing on the racks around the pond. No one is really sure but rumors are the pond is 60 feet or more deep. There has been talk about scuba diving into it, just to see were it goes but so far there are no solid plans for that.

It's a bit of a hike along the beach to get back to the spring from the end of the Paseo Lineal (the biking/walking trail from Jobos to Villa Pesquera) by the Isabela del Mar condos. Deep soft sand makes getting back there by vehicle impractical. Walking is about the only way to see it. It was well worth the hike. I'm really glad we found it.
