Yes - you are correct about Atlantic coast of Spain. Key landmark is in background.

I understand enough Spanish to see the Tower of Hercules - but I'd have to resort to Google to find it's location

Close enough - it is the Tower of Hercules in the background of picture - city is A Coruña in northwestern Spain.

I think reading signs in the picture is within the rules - so, you didn't cheat!

This is not in Montego Bay. There is a sunken wreck in the middle of this bay.

Old photo though so perhaps before the wreck? I've no real idea. Seem to recognise the beach bar but not the hotel behind. Let's try St Lucia.

The picture would have to be quite old to be before the wreck, which happened in 1905
This is not in St. Lucia
Here's a panoramic picture taken of the same bay from just a couple of feet away from the first picture.

I think that this might be Hawknest Bay on St. John, USVI.

I was certain that this was St. John, everything matches! So I used Google Maps and now have to wait for the clock to run out before submitting my next guess

Okay, I guess I didn't specifically ask for the name of this bay on St John. Should we wait for the name of the bay, or move on? If moving on, Zanshin you are up.

ndfan--you only posted the picture about an hour ago, so let's wait a little longer for the name of the bay.

Well, as long as we can keep guessing, I'll guess Caneel Bay. I was at many of the anchorages in July but now can't recall all their names and looks.

I think that someone here will identify it - The moorings plus the direction that the boats are pointed with the prevailing wind should give it away.

Tom, the deep water snorkeling was indeed fantastic. The bay was also full of turtles. You are up sir!
