You are nearing the end of the sandy beaches and some distance to the
west you see a pier.  A cool breeze gently caresses your face, leaving a
saltish trail on your lips.  Occasionally you spot some trees sparsely
decorating the landscape.  North and south you see more of the beaches as it
stretches on, going around in a loop.  There doesnt seem to be anything of
much interest here.
