Tropic Life PR posted a picture of Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) on this beach.
Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and Namor (Tenoch Huerta) meet there as well.
The beach is in Manatí, towards the north of the island.
According to Sceenit, “Las Palmas Beach is located right next to the more popular Poza de las Mujeres. A long stretch of sand with open waters, this beach is an ideal photo spot, but swimming is not recommended as the waters are known for its rough tides.”

According to Discover Puerto Rico, “this classic Caribbean Style Hacienda is located on the grounds of a former sugar cane plantation in Carolina, just a short 15-minute drive from San Juan’s main airport (SJU).”

Queen Ramonda goes to Haiti, where Nakia has taken up residence.
Together, they walk through the plant-filled halls of what is really the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture, a respected educational center.
According to Google Arts and Culture, the center “was created in 1955 with the mission of researching, preserving, promoting and disseminating Puerto Rican culture in its diversity and complexity.”

Located in Arecibo, it is available for vacation rentals on Airbnb.
As described by the host, “at this tropical paradise, up to 8 guests can enjoy one of the most marvelous vacation experiences of their lives.”
It’s safe to say many people will probably want to stay here now!
