Beach south of Ponce (town in south central Puerto Rico)

 

 4 feet long tarpon cruised by the shoreline docks waiting for handouts.

 

There are also many of these 5 inch wide red starfish

in shallow waters near docks.

 Lookout tower near picnic area

 Boat basin near beach....  Here, as in many places in Florida, 
Australian pines are used as a wind and water break 
on the outer rim of the bay.

 

What do you see in the background? A Thing of the Dead?

Looking south at the profile of Caja de Muertos Island off the south coast of Puerto Rico, 

which is so named because it looks like a coffin. The island is visited by 

tourist ferries and yachts, but is uninhabited.
