Just two hours south of Miami by plane lies a stretch of virgin paradise under a warm equatorial sun - a land that is virtually unknown, a diamond in the rough whose gentle green slopes taper down to beautiful white beaches and breath-taking views.

A barrier of prehistoric-rock protects calm pools of crystal Pacific water where a lucky few bathe on leisurely afternoons absorbed in the simple pleasures of total relaxation.

When the tides surge, a tower of mist rises from the sea and high into the heavens as waves crash behind the protective arms of the barrier, causing a magnificent visual phenomenon for all to witness.

As the mist falls it slowly trickles down the sculptured formations creating Mother Nature's own private Jacuzzi; a gift for a very select group of her closest friends.

The sweet-smell of wildflowers mixed with salt perfumes the air, with the only sounds to be heard are the whisper of the breeze, the song of sea bird, and the splash of the waves.
