About 6:30 AM, the Bahia de Navidad is still sleepy, but the rising sun coaxes the two villages of Melaque and Barra de Navidad into morning activivities. It's magical time of day - cool, quiet and peaceful. The shore birds are active, hunting for breakfast; a few human inhabitants are out for walks on the beach.
Equally impressive are the sunsets. Sun and clouds create most amazing colorsand moods!
The top three pictures were taken in Melaque at morning sunrise; the fourth was taken that evening at Punta Perula, about 50 miles farther up the coast.
