While at Anemona de Mar, we had a visit from this friendly little fellow. I felt very dad-like in their company, but the upside was that they provided a ready pool of models for shots like this one, taken at the Anemona de Mar Beach Club – a recently-opened private beach club that offers a day of sun, sand, spa, food and drink for anyone looking for a break, or booked into lodgings that lack beach frontage. My traveling companions for the trip were a group of young social media influencers. #mexicancaribbean #quintanaroo #cozumel #playapalancar #travelphotographer #travelblogger #travelphotoblog #travelwriter #cerveza #lgphotography #lgg5photography #jessonsharesĪ post shared by Rick McGinnis on at 9:13am PDT I gave the last one a miss – I don’t swim (what did I tell you?) – but the other two were very much what the doctor ordered, which gave me an opportunity for a quick Instagram to capture the moment:Ĭozumel. There are beaches and bars and boats to take you out snorkeling. You’d need video and a handful of Gravol for that, but once you’re on the island, this worldwide vacation destination is remarkably pleasant. No photo can do justice to the experience of the ferry ride to Cozumel.

I might have kept my shoes on and my bathing suit dry, but I took on the trip as a challenge to get some evocative photos of life on the beach under a tropical sun, along a coastline full of destinations – Cancun, Cozumel – that evoke sunscreen, a towel on your lounger and crushed ice in your drink. Which made a recent trip to the Mayan Riviera on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula – a long string of hotels, resorts and beach clubs facing the Caribbean Sea – a challenging prospect for me.

Basking in the sun while waves lap the shore nearby might be heaven for many people, but I’m not one of them.
