Crab

Some of the most phenomenal sites that rest on this planet, lie in the most bizarre places. One of the most astonishing sites that I have ever seen, rests on the coast of the tiny island Culebra. The basic description of it is a gathering of rocks that enclose a small area but really it is so much more. It lies just a few feet away from a waterfall, so in between the creases of the rocks, water can seep in, thus resembling a pool. Although the best part was, when the hot summer air mixed with…

Boardwalk is lined with local restaurants, bars, souvenir vendors, and even a crab racing club. Crab racing is a very fun activity that you’d probably never have heard of if you weren’t talking to a visitor of the islands. The friendly competition begins with choosing your crab from the bucket. The bucket is always full of crabs of varying sizes, but the always the same species. When choosing your crab, you don’t want to pick a crab that is too large because it won’t move as fast as a smaller…

predator and prey. The great white shark feeds off of the bottlenose dolphin. The dolphin eats crabs, mackerel fish, and shrimp. The crabs eat phytoplankton and seagrass. The mackerel fish just eats phytoplankton. The crab eats algae, kelp and phytoplankton. This evidence supports the claim that I made because by taking out those dolphins the seas would be overpopulated by the shrimp, fish, and crabs. Whatever they eat would be underpopulated because of how many of these…

brunch, takeout and late-night snacks. Their cuisine is American, Seafood and they do offer a bar. My first time here with my family and we thought the food was out of this world!

It must have been the biggest burger I have ever seen, and so mouthwatering! The French fries…

is a sea lion there who always waits for people to throw back the crabs they don't want so he can gobble them up as soon as they hit the water. He also frequently splashes anyone close to the edge of the dock which always makes for a funny story. Pause for a second, I don't know if you’ve ever been really close to a fully grown sea lion but it is terrifying how gargantuan they are. As I was crabbing there I threw one of the crabs that was too small back into the water and almost…
