About this audio guide
This guide to Playa El Cielo, the sea-star sandbar off Cozumel reached by boat from Playa del Carmen, turns on the summer of twenty twenty-six, when a small tour boat set out for this spot with more people aboard than it was licensed to carry. It also follows the viral videos of guides handling wildlife in a protected area, and asks who is meant to be keeping watch. Best heard standing in the shallows, looking down at the sand.
