Wandering Puerto Morelos: lighthouse, malecón, and local shops

This is a medium shot of the Malecón in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, on a partly cloudy day. The foreground features a paved walkway with an orange-toned, stamped concrete surface. A brown wooden railing runs horizontally across the frame, with a green concrete bollard positioned on the right side of the walkway. To the left of the bollard, a white sign with a black border indicates "ZONA PÚBLICA WI-FI PUBLIC HOTSPOT" with a Wi-Fi symbol and the GigNet logo at the bottom. A tilted white lighthouse structure with blue accents is a prominent subject. Attached to a wooden post in front of the lighthouse is a colorful wooden sign that reads "MALECÓN De Puerto Morelos". The sign features an emblem with a sunburst, star, and trees on the left, and a depiction of a lighthouse on the right. Behind the sign and lighthouse, a sandy beach is visible. Several people are scattered across the beach, some sitting and others walking. A small wooden structure with a thatched roof and a blue and white striped wall stands on the beach. Further back, palm trees with fronds overhang the scene. The water of the Caribbean Sea is visible in the background, with several small motorboats docked or anchored. The sky is a pale blue with scattered white clouds. The overall impression is a relaxed, coastal resort atmosphere.
