Plotagraph: Last Light Over Boneyard Beach
Boneyard Beach is named for the driftwood that is pulled in on the tide and deposited on the beach to be bleached bone white by the sun, salt and sand. It's a quick 30-minute excursion from Isle of Palms Marina and well worth the trip. The island really lights up as the sun sets, drawing long shadows on the "bones" that litter the beach.

Caribbean Beach
The beach and water at El Dorado Royale is perfect. It's hard to find a more peaceful experience than relaxing on a king-size bed cabana while listening to the waves lap the shore. If you book a stay at El Dorado Royale, be sure to stay in the Casitas. In addition to the bigger rooms, en-suite outdoor showers and private pools for each set of Casitas, they also include exclusive access to the beachside cabanas on the private Casitas beach.

Clouds Over a Reef

Churning Sea
I'm fascinated by the man-made breakwaters that protect the beaches of El Dorado Royale. They form a natural reef just off the beach and they calm the waters dramatically.
For a better view of the beach at El Dorado Royale, check out the video I made from our last trip down to their Casitas:
Both today's photograph and this video were captured with a DJI Mavic Pro drone.
Riviera Maya
It's hard to beat the turquoise waters of Mexico's Riviera Maya. The colors continuously change throughout the day and night as the clouds filter sunlight on to the reefs and sand below the water. It's beautiful from the beach but when you get an aerial view with a drone, it's absolutely spectacular.
This particular stretch of water is at one of my favorite Caribbean resorts, El Dorado Royale.
To see how the clouds cycle the color of the water right before your eyes, check out the video that I created from our last trip to El Dorado Royale.
