Just a wild guess to narrow this down, somewhere on the Iberian Peninsula?

I know exactly where it is, but don't know the name of it; how frustrating!

Arnd, I'll accept the location without the exact name of the point. But the name is something you walk on.

It is the southwest most point of St. John. I see it to my right when I sail (or take the ferry from the BVI) past "Current Rock" heading towards Charlotte Amalie

Arnd, you're half right! Not St. John, but the rest of your description is correct.

This picture is taken from another beach close by. The beach in the initial picture is located just past the hilltop marked by the mast of the trimaran at the dock in this picture.

The clues I see (i.e. fence and sign) look like one of those private islands in the BVI, but the beach is open to the public. Guana?

The island that these two beaches are on is not part of Grenada and not on Guana Island. Both beaches are open to the public. The latter beach is tougher to get to, though - a long 500m walk from the road on a rocky dirt path; despite that, it is usually pretty crowded. I'll wait a bit before posting the next beach picture (also a panorama from a non-standard angle) and if that doesn't prompt a response I've got a final shot that will certainly trigger memories.

Yep. Beerman has it. By the way, those moorings are tough to pick up, there's little slack and I my freeboard forward is so high that I can't pull up the mooring far enough to get a line through it! And doing it singlehanded is even tougher; I wish they hadn't put those in a couple of years back, it was my favorite anchorage. Now I will usually anchor there, but the no-anchor zone stops at 50-70 feet water depth and it isn't usually very calm out that far.

Thanks Kim, she does love photography...and travel!! I'll give a hint to narrow it down a bit, Jim Rockford might have visited here if he drove about 5 hours in his gold Firebird!

If it's not Mexico, it's got to be the US, doesn't it?

I was thinking Northern CA, now I'm pretty sure it's Capitola.

Fran I had to look Capitola up! Yes it is, but all I knew is that she was in Santa Cruz ;-) I've never been there but she's facetimed a few times and it's beautiful there!

It looks incredible! I have been to SFO for work but never down there. Sure would like to see it though.

Kim--How about if you wait till tomorrow morning and if someone else wants to post a picture, they can. If no one posts by tomorrow morning, go ahead.
