This fun sign is posted on a coconut tree on which beach? On what Island?

Well, cheeze n bread!
Except for the towering building in the back ground I would say East End STT.
I know I am wrong but what the heck!

HI Alana,

Good job so far, it is an East End STT beach... which one? 🙂

I haven't been there since the mid 80's, but sure reminds me of the beach at Hull Bay as I remember it.

Rocky Dock

Rocky Dock - Hull Bay does have a lot of boats in the bay similar to the background in the photo, so its a good try. Your answer did make me scratch my head a bit. You see when I read your answer the first thing that came to mind is that Hull Bay doesn't have any coconut trees; and then I second guessed myself. Went back and forth a few times. But I stick to the first thought, I don't think there are any. Its mostly a treeline made up of sea-grape and some other trees. So with that said, nope the photo isn't Hull Bay - but I've included a Hull Bay photo below. 🙂 Thanks for trying.

Thanks Alana - you got it, its Cowpet (some folks also call it Elysian, the name of one of the resort/condo properties on site). Here is the full photo:
