The shot is from Tilloo Banks in Abaco. It's a very large sandbar that can be just five feet at low tide. As you approach, the water looks like it is lit from below. I love the contrast in this picture of the brightness of the water color against the steel gray clouds from the approaching storm, punctuated by the white sails of the boat in the distance.

Swifty, I agree - that is a very good photo with lots of contrast. OK, I know this one won't last long.

This might be a bit tricky, but then again, perhaps not. Not a lot to go on. Where were these taken? The arch might give it away.

My guess would be Aruba, which I think is the reason for sleepychef's question, as I think the one in Aruba collapsed?

I see what you're getting at Carol. Yes, that arch in Aruba is gone. I don't know about this one but it's not Aruba or Malta. Carol is closer though.

There’s one in Cabo too, though I don’t think it is this one.
Arches National Park doesn’t have this much water,
Mexico?

Honeymooned on Cozumel 40+ years ago! Learned from multiple cruise stops that it is best to rent a Jeep at the international cruise pier and circuit the island. You can’t get lost, just keep the water on your right, stop at the beach bars and avoid the tourists in San Miguel.

Island next to Notre Dame is Ile Saint-Louis. Cross the bridge and get glorious ice cream!

I've seen that crazy building in the trees above the bridge on TV, Vancouver.

It looks like it should be in Italy or Greece but for some reason I'm thinking the UK? Go figure.

Too early to use Google, but one variety of olive is Kalamati. I love olives.
