In each, there is a picture of Sandy Spit with a couple of palm trees. We were there last March, and don't remember any vegetation? Are the trees really there, or were they photo-shopped in?

Plus, it’s too close and no other island in view beyond. 👍🏻 Here’s the correct direction, Sandy Cay in the background, same day… Last edited by SV Absolutely; 02/24/2023 11:39 AM. SV Absolutely
