You are on a sand bar that has gathered where a net that prevents
shipping from entering this part of Treasure Bay.  It is littered with
smashed ships timbers, crushed seashells, and other flotsam and jetsam.  A
sandy beach is to the south and southwest.  Waves from Treasure Bay crash
gently to the west.  You can enter the open waters of Treasure Bay to the
northwest.  Rocks and smashed timbers block the way to the east.
