I have found numerous photos that come real close to matching the ocean landscape to include the same type of clouds and coral reefs, it the land that does not fit yet.

Yes, I see what you mean. The clouds in Japan do look different then ours.

I may go with Cape Manzamo, Kunigami, Okinawa, Japan - unless new info is unveiled. There is an Intercontinental resort there but can not verify today's clue to there.

Keep in mind the picture has been cropped and mirrored. I think there are only 3 real shadows in there.

foxberg so what will be you today's gues .
I will rely on you.Will Okinawa ,Japan be enough specific?

I want to believe that too. If I could only find a good reference to reality shows filmed in an area that looks like the picture, then I would be all set.

I found pics of Miyakojima that "look right", but nothing on reality shows there...

I've wasted too many hours today.. I'm just going with Okinawa, Japan. This picture kept hanging me up though.

From these photos, it really looks like these cliffs at Manzamo...which is part of Kaigan Quasi National Park.

The Pacific - Season 1 Episode 9 - Okinawa
Loads of other tv shows and films have been about this place

Well, the only thing I'm certain of is that this is Japan and almost positive that this is Okinawa (I asked a Japanese girl I work with about blue and green water - the answer was Okinawa). But as far as the particular site - I have no idea. Searches on TV shows filmed in Japan returned nothing. Okinawa, Japan would not be enough for an answer. For the lack of better, or unless someone finds a better place, I would probably submit Cape Irizaki, Yonaguni Island, Japan. Those shadows we see on the picture could be from those electric poles that lead to the lighthouse on the right.

Pondering over the clue a little further, it may just refer to the country rather than the specific location, in which case I think the clue fits with Japan.
I have to believe that the Japan reference in the flash is correct, so this way the clue also fits and stops people sidetracking this thread with references to other countries due to Survivor obsessions

From looking at photos and from discussion on this thread, I definitely agree with Okinawa. The question is whether this is specific enough.
Instead of all these posts stating 'I got my points', it would actually be useful if people had posted what their answer was, so then we know how accurate you have to be.
For instance, did anyone get points without mentioning Arikok?
FWIW, I got 2000 points in week 2, despite including 'Royal' in my answer.

Anyway, if we are to narrow it down further. I think the golf course idea mentioned has some credibility. The wiki pages certainly mention golf courses.
Also, although the competition only mentions an 'Anywhere Hotel' must be nearby, it certainly wouldn't hurt having a nice PC hotel, so I'm going to review that as well.

I found this picture taken on site of the Manza Beach resort on Okinawa:

From the first three weeks, I think we can conclude that these pictures are not supposed to represent one specific plot of ground: they are composites of photos glommed together solely to make a picturesque image for a postcard. So don't get wrapped around any specific image... it only is meant to be representative of the area.
