Where and when

Position, and the shape of the year.

Both panels are drawn from facts the atlas holds: recorded coordinates and the latitude itself. Neither is a forecast.

Locator map of Culebra: sourced beach coordinates around 18.332, -65.321, with the destination centre marked — 335 sourced beach records inside a frame roughly 432 km wide, plotted server-side from the atlas index over Natural Earth land outlines (public domain). The marked point is the coordinate in this record; every other mark is a beach record you can open from the directory.
