Rusting hull of the Yicel sits on a remote Caribbean beach near Manzanillo — dramatic subject against jungle-backed shoreline and turquoise surf. Shoot wide vistas at sunrise/sunset for warm light and long shadows; overcast days bring moody detail. Access requires driving on rough coastal roads (4x4 recommended) and a short walk from limited parking in the Gandoca–Manzanillo area. Tides and surf change composition quickly; respect local conservation rules and nearby Bribri communities.
