  • The word "families" might offer a helpful clue as to why the waters are warmer here. The word "tourists" should be added to the descriptive summary above for even greater clarity. Warning: beware of ocher seawater.
  • Actually, the warm waters attract stingrays, who have an appetite for pinkish midwestern flesh.
