The morning light in Pedernales cuts across dry scrub and salt flats as the van pulls away toward the coast. By the time the road drops to Cabo Rojo, the sea has a blunt, determined blue; the waves seem to dare you to step closer. The tour reaches Bahía de las Águilas — an expansive stretch of white sand and remarkably clear water where currents and shoals shape a vivid playground for snorkeling and slow walks along the shore.
