Time Lapse of a Bonaire Sunset and a Slow Motion Iguana Attack
You can’t make this stuff up. While most of this video of a sunset on a Bonaire beach is about as serene and relaxing as anything you’ll come across this week, the violent iguana attack is rather disturbing. OK, maybe it’s not that violent or disturbing but I’m sure it was quite surprising. Anyway, clinking beers at sunset on a beach in the Caribbean is about the best way to end the day so I’m sure the...
Five Minutes At Sunset – Road Bay, Sandy Ground, Anguilla
Tagged: anguilla, caribbean, road bay, sandy ground, sunset, travel
Road Bay and its adjoining beach, located in Sandy Ground, Anguilla, is a magical place at that time of day when the sun is swallowed up by the horizon. One of my favorite places for sunset and home to such notable beach bars and beachfront restaurants such as Elvis’, Dad’s, Johnno’s and Roy’s (plus the famous Pumphouse just across the road), it’s a place I consider home every time I spot it. Having had...

Back in 2014, we went to Anguilla and St. Maarten for our annual Thanksgiving vacation.

Seeing videos like this one, while they’re nice and lovely and all, only serve as a reminder of what I miss about...

Earlier this past summer, I asked for sunset pictures on my Beach Bar Bums Facebook page. The response was overwhelming but there was one clear winner – Donna Caffo’s image of the sunset from penthouse 709 at the Ixchel Beach Hotel on the island of Isla Mujeres. Even with stiff competition from other Isla Mujeres enthusiasts, Donna’s image garnered the most likes by far and combined with the pictures from her fellow Isla Mujeres fans,...
Missing The Florida Keys

I’m really missing the Florida Keys. After being in St. Pete Beach for 11 days, I was reminded of just how much I miss being on the water. Salty or fresh, it has this way of calming me while at the same time getting me excited about just how big the world is and all the new places out there to explore. And when you’re in the Florida Keys, you can’t deny the ocean – it’s everywhere you turn and if you don’t see it, you’ll smell the...
