Read a story about this in Rolling Stone some years ago. It had more detail though. If I remember right, it said the shaft filled with water b/c there was a hole dug horizontally to the sea. Also, it said something about the beach itself may have been man made. The ground was completely lined with palm leaves and covered with sand. Very cool stuff.
I had since looked for a copy of that story, unsuccessfully of course. Chiefsplanet amazes me again, the story I could never find pops up out of nowhere. Good stuff FAX.
