shoots Black Stone Beach

If you like sailing and taking good shots of ships just like me,
than you must go to Boca Catalina located in the area of Mal-
mok. It’s the best angle to get the best images of boats and There is something very unique about this beach. All the stones are rounded black lava stones
ships like the amazing Jolley Pirates. You can jump over the cliff and it is located under one of the island’s natural bridges in the Arikok National Park. For this
into the clear water and also get a fully tan of a brown/honey photo shoot we started 4am walking all over the north coastline from the area of the famous
color on its little sandy beach. Boca Catalina is also a good natural bridge, thru Andicuri coastline and beach till we reached Black Stone beach. The idea
option for snorkeling and see the beautiful underwater world was to photograph the sunrise at Black Stone Beach and it was spectacular that day. The model
