I was surprised to see a 3 foot-long iguana strolling the beach this morning, and then plunging into the water for a swim. He actually moved very quickly in the water, kind of like an eel. After swimming a bit, he seemed to ride the shallow waves for a while before hitting the sand and walking off. A woman swimming a short distance away decided to leave the water instead of taking part in the new SXM attraction, swimming with the iguanas.

We'd seen him walking the street in front of the Grand Case rental a few days ago, but I didn't realize that iguanas were ocean swimmers!
