Exploring the Navinca Sector (Eng/Esp)

English version

Curiosity spurred me on once again and set me in motion, so I decided to explore La Marina Street along the beach, specifically the Navinca area—named after the company that owns a large shipyard there. It was my first time walking through these grounds, but I was determined to find unique images to share with you.

In this area, the play of shadows falls upon the sea, even giving the impression that I’m standing by a lake. On one side, the sea looks blue, vibrant, and striking—perfect for taking your breath away in the early morning hours. On the other, the sun’s position behind the mountains makes the beach appear gray or brown in photographs, giving the impression that it’s late afternoon.

One thing that caught my attention is that the shore is littered with old tires, marking the boundary of the area so that the boats don’t run aground. As can be seen in the photographs, there are some boats anchored very close by, indicating that there are fishermen in this community.

For tourists and people unfamiliar with the beach, the boats are often just decorations that might grace a postcard, but for a fisherman, they are his tools of the trade—and thus, the livelihood of his family depends on that wooden vessel. This creates a special bond; each fisherman treats his boat as part of the family, caring for it as a cherished and valuable possession.

The view is spectacular, but it’s obvious that this beach isn’t suitable for people to enjoy because of the waste that’s often dumped into the sea from places such as shipyards, food processing plants, or docks. Engine lubricants, fuel, chemical solvents, sewage, and the remains of fish or other marine species serve as a more than obvious warning not to go into the water at this beach.

La curiosidad volvió a motivarme y movió nuevamente mis pasos, entonces decidí explorar la calle La Marina por el lado de la playa, específicamente por el sector Navinca, nombrado así por la empresa que posee un gran astillero allí. Era la primera vez que caminaba por estos predios, pero estaba decidida a buscar imágenes inéditas para compartirlas con ustedes.

En esta zona el juego de las sombras recae sobre el mar, incluso da la impresión de que estoy en presencia de un lago. De un lado el mar luce azul, vibrante y llamativo, ideal para robar suspiros a tempranas horas de la mañana. Del otro, la ubicación del sol en las montañas hace que en las fotografías se capture la playa de color gris o marrón, dando la impresión de que es de tarde.

Un elemento que me llamó la atención es que la orilla está llena de neumáticos viejos, delimitando la zona para que los botes no encallen. Como se aprecia en las fotografías hay algunos botes anclados muy cerca, señalando que en esta comunidad hay pescadores.

Para los turistas y personas ajenas a la playa, los botes suelen ser adornos con los cuales se puede embellecer una postal, pero para un pescador es su instrumento de trabajo y, por lo tanto, de esa nave de madera depende el sustento para los suyos. Por ello se crea un vínculo especial, cada pescador trata a su bote como parte de la familia, lo cuida como un objeto preciado y de gran valor.

La vista es espectacular, pero es obvio que está playa no es apta para el disfrute de las personas debido a los desechos que suelen vertirse al mar desde lugares tales como astilleros, procesadoras de alimentos o muelles. Lubricantes de motores, combustible, disolventes químicos, aguas servidas y restos de pescados u otras especies marinas suelen ser una advertencia más que obvia para no meterse en la playa.

    It is wild how old tires end up being used to keep boats from running aground there. That perspective on how fishermen view their boats compared to tourists is really true too.

  • It’s so sad that the beach here hasn’t been taken care of—there’s so much trash. It could have been really beautiful.
