Beach Boat at Punta Cana Before the Storm

Along the eastern coast of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, a coastal tour boat rests against the pale sandy shore as shifting weather approaches over the Caribbean Sea. The turquoise shallows—characteristic of this stretch of the Atlantic coast lined by coral reefs—contrast sharply with a dense bank of darkening storm clouds moving inland. Beach excursions and snorkeling trips commonly depart from this area, where the water remains shallow and calm before the reef break. The photograph captures the transitional weather common to the region’s tropical maritime climate, highlighting the tension between the inviting clarity of the shoreline and the dramatic sky signaling an imminent rainfront.
