Million Dollar Bay

Million Dollar Bay is a beach in the island of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. In 1945, the Americans dumped a lot of expensive military equipment into the sea and blew it up. As a result, now we've got an excellent dive spot focused on the war history. It is also possible to snorkel, but view from the surface is not so interesting. As for the beach itself, it is not very beautiful. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
