The trip took us around Las Brisas point, which opens onto stunning vistas of Acapulco glittering on its crescent bay.

The island has a crescent shaped bay which is used as an anchorage.

Bestou cuddles the whole length of the crescent bay, but has no depth.

Sitting at the centre of a large white crescent bay was an eighteenth-century Spanish-style colonial town.

To his left was the tiny crescent bay that had been blasted out of the sheer rock face to provide a private beach for the main house.

Rounding a cape, they came at last in sight of a deep crescent bay with white sand beaches.

At the entrance of the harbor, a shallow crescent bay, he let the windspell drop and stilled his little boat so it lay rocking on the waves.

And he stared across the crescent bay toward the mountain that overlooked the island like an almighty godlike sentinel.

I stood on a promontory once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World and gazed across a crescent bay.

The pontoon anchored in the crescent bay is a perfect place to pause between snorkelling stints.
