The locals of Puerto Rico do not hold a favorable opinion towards a beautiful statue, owing to the historical oppression that was inflicted upon the island's original inhabitants by Columbus.

The beach is situated in an unspoiled and natural setting, with no signs of commercialization or development. The area remains untouched, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the serene and tranquil surroundings. The lack of infrastructure and amenities may deter some, but for those seeking a peaceful escape, this undeveloped beach is a hidden gem.

The beach is devoid of any commercialization, which may seem like a positive, but in reality, it only adds to the desolate and barren atmosphere. The raw natural beauty is uninviting and unwelcoming, with wild creatures lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce at any moment. The only way to experience this bleak landscape is through my pictures, as being here in person would only lead to disappointment and regret.
