Playa San Martin
San Martin is about halfway across the eastern coast of Cozumel and offers a huge beach that seems to go on forever. However, this stretch of coastline is riddled with offshore reefs that deposit a good amount of coral on the shore and while Chen Rio’s sand is powdery fine, the sand in this area contains a good amount of small chunks of ocean worn coral making it a little more uncomfortable to walk on and enjoy. Also the ocean isn’t quite as user-friendly here and would be the place for those wanting calm and friendly swimming conditions. There is a restaurant and bar, as well as a small shopping area on the beach which is a stopping point for the excursion bus. San Martin would be an excellent beach for beachcombing to collect coral and other items that may have washed up onto the beach.

Hi Fran, I do wish you would put your PP in order :). Lovely! Good colour and light, well composed and fine detail. It should make me warm looking at equatorial waters but with snow on the surrounding mountains I am still cold. TFS,
David

Hello Fran

Beautiful, it could only be in Cozumel this beauty.
Big visual, beautiful scenery, of a sea almost that agitated, but of beautiful colors and light.
well composed and fine detail.
Greetings!

Sérgio

Rough coastline here FranK. - No sunbathing at the water's edge!! But I'll come for the shops and cafes!
Cheers
Janice

Hello Fran,
Lovely action!
The forces of the sea are always fascinating to watch, and here you freeze the surf nicely...
Good natural colours, the image is well composed with good foreground interest!
Greetings,

Hi Fran, fantastic oceanscape! Gorgeous capture of the waves! Great colours, composition too. And the wather seems to be superb!
Here it is difficult to maintain a steady hot weather this spring and summer. I don't know what's hapening!

Your image makes me feel good! I would enjoy going to the sea this summer :)

Take care, Yan :)
ps: many thx for your critique on "2007 Ottawa Jazz Festival".

Hi Fran,
Superb capture and POV. You have capture the splash right on. Very good colors and sharpness. I like to see the coral in the FG just in front of the waves. It is giving a good contrast. Very well done. Congrats. TFS
