Labadee is a peninsula linked to the northern coast of Haiti. Despite marketing as an oasis, it's just one Labadie Peninsula beach. This view captures one edge of the peninsula. the part that leads to Labadie village (left).

This is natural sea salt from Haiti. This is what Coarse salt looks like, Haitians call it Gros Sel

Haitians consume more of that bulky sea salt than than the heavily processed table salt. Many people argue that sea salt is healthier than table salt.

Related: Stroke and Hypertension in Haitian Communities, is it because of all that extra SALT in the way Haitians cook?

Did you know? A 1/4 teaspoon of salt contains 575 milligrams sodium.

How much sodium should you consume in a day?

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) a day.

Bassin Bleu one of a series of three cobalt-blue pools linked by waterfalls tucked into the mountains 12 kilometers northwest of the city Jacmel that make up one of the prettiest nature-made swimming pools in Haiti.

The four pools altogether. They are Bassin Bleu, Bassin Clair, Bassin Cheval and Bassin Palmiste.

Bassin Bleu is most popularly known perhaps because the village nearby is also called Bassin Bleu.

Between Jacmel et Bainet, these four nature-made pools are along the Petite Rivière de Jacmel in the direction of La Vallée-de-Jacmel.

Nothing tastes better than an ice cold Prestige beer and some 5-star Rum Barbancourt when hanging out at the beach in Haiti. This is a picture for my recent trip to Labadie haiti.

Everyone thinks a Labadie is exclusive only to cruise ships. That's not true at all. Labadie Beach, also called "Labadee" to make it easier for Americans to pronounce it, is private but there are many other beaches in the Labadie peninsula.

I was hanging out in one of those public beaches closer to Labadie Village.
