Isla Saona is a 42 sq-kilometer Caribbean oasis off the southern coast of the Dominican Republic.
It is a government protected nature reserve and a part of the Parque Nacional Cotubanamá, so no buildings are allowed there.
The Island is known for its beautiful beaches, and has been used on a number of occasions by film-makers and advertisers, made famous in scenes from Hollywood movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Bounty chocolate bar advert.

What a healthy discussion your entry raised. I might have to re-visit the "rules" again to draw some lines:)..... To be honest I have not been paying attention to it much as of lately.
Agreed @czechglobalhosts!
Your contest, your rules! But looking forward to hearing how your reflection on the "rules" go.
Irrespective your contest is awesome and gets really cool photos from around the world every day of the week!
Cheers!
Hey really cool photo!
However, the Caribbean including the DR is part of North America so best to compete with this photo on the North American contests day.
There are little rules here but good to stick with the basic regional breakdowns.
Here is a map from wiki:

Hey, thanks for the info, there were some discussions about what contests these Latin American countries belong to. Geographically, they belong to North America but culturally, they are more of South America, which is why Tomas accepted these photos to both contests.
North America
North America is a continent entirely within the Northern Hemisphere and almost all within the Western Hemisphere; it is also considered by some to be a northern subcontinent of the Americas. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean, and to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea.
North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 16.5% of the earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface.
North America is the third largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa, and the fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Hey thanks @wikitextbot! That is super cool!
Awesome shot. This looks like such a nice relaxing place to lay out and soak up some sun.
