Playa Santa – My Favorite Beach

My Favorite Beach Playa Santa!

When I was in college this was the Beach I visited the Most. I have memories from visiting this beach as a young boy, in High School, and as an adult.

It also happens to be my daughter's favorite beach. So every chance we have to drive over to Playa Santa in Guanica, Puerto Rico we take the opportunity.

Playa Santa in Guanica is the first beach I visited as a Baby

Last year as I visited Playa Santa with my Dad he gave me a good reason why I might be so attached to this beach. Apparently, I was weeks old when Dad and Mom decided to put me in water as summer approached in 1980.

Playa Santa is one of my happy places. We all have a happy place.

Which one is your happy place? Do you really know all the reason why that specific place is your happy place?

Every time I visit my favorite beach I find new reasons to keep loving it.

¡Que Bonita Bandera!

The Puerto Rican Flag

There are multiple variations of the Puerto Rican flag. Locally depending on what Political Party is in Power, they switch from the Original Color which is the one above to one that represents more the United States Flag. 

In my case I prefer the original version, not only does it represent how many have fought for the rights of this Island but it's the reality we live as being second class citizens living in a colony of a nation that benefits heavily from the relationship.

At one point it was illegal to possess a Puerto Rican flag and you could be thrown in jail for it. If always carry the version of the Resistance Flag in my backpacks as a reminder of how much we have to work hard to get what is right for our Island.

Yesterday as I was in a photo shoot with two clients I saw this flag on the beach. I had no option but to return and photograph this image of our beautiful flag flying on Condado Beach.

La Perla at a Distance from El Morro

La Perla at a Distance from El Morro

Landscape Photography

La Perla at a Distance!

We were visiting El Morro Fort which has a historical connection to my family heritage.

At a distance, I did my best to capture the colors of La Perla.

Way before Daddy Yankee's Despacito, La Perla has been the cultural hub of many arts. Before the Hurricane Despacito helped La Perla become a Tourist Spot, after the hurricane there have been and are multiple efforts to help the residents of La Perla rebuild.

La Perla serves as a quick reminder of the many Puerto Ricans that live in poverty before and after Hurricane Maria but are very proud of what they have and work as a community to overcome whatever challenges they have.
