Perhaps some volcanic islands (i.e., dormant calderas and shrubbed-over cones)?

How about this?

This shot is Trunk Bay in St.John,U.S.V.I.
I once had a tourist at the bar ask me for three bottles so they could take home all the different colors of water. :D

I've been there, looked right out at the EXACT same view off the side of the road. I have a picture of it on my cell phone, (me and friends go there every year)
