Along the Beach, Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

This resort compound is a half mile walk north of where we're staying in Puerto Morelos.  It's one of the few places that still has large palms close to the water.  Many/most elsewhere were damaged in the 2005 hurricane. I chose to photograph here on a windy, cool, early morning so I wouldn't look like a dirty old man.  It's a clothing optional resort and most of the guests seem to exercise the option - some look like they probably shouldn't have done so - but that's just one man's opinion.

A private beach compound.

These condos are an unusual design for the beachfront in this town - know locally as Starwars.

I'm guessing but, I think this house was built after the damage from Hurricane Wilma in 2005. It has concrete floors, walls, decks, railings, chimney, roof, eaves - I don't know what the inside looks like but I can guess it feels mighty safe to stay there.

The first footprint in freshly sifted and cleaned sand.  The town does this daily along the beach. A tractor scoops up any debris, man-made or otherwise and leaves fluffy soft sand.
