East Coast

After what Micki said about coconut personality I was thinking that it reminded me of Tom Hank's companion Wilson from "Cast Away". This is down the coast from that spot, which is at the top right of the picture. It is the east coast of Barbados, which is ranked 8th on the most densely populated countries in the World (can you guess which is ranked top ?).

The West coast is very developed but the East is very sparse, wonderful for escaping from people, you can walk a very long way along this beach before meeting anyone. One of the reasons for this is that this is the Atlantic side of the island, great for surfing but dangerous for swimming.

Sweet!! Looks like a great place to lounge back in a low rider lounge chair with a case of beer on ice!

This does look like a "wild" side here. Very dense and lush.

I actually heard that Monaco was the most densly populated country.

I think it has something like 40,000 people per sq. mile, but that may not be a fair comparison , since it is considered a "micro-state".

This is beautiful.

The island of Java (Indonesia) is also a tropical paradise, and densely populated. This looks like the coast of an island where pirates used to bury their treasures.
