    <description>The beach narrows and finally straggles to a stop at the jagged rocks marking the edge of the cliff.  A strutting gaggle of sandpipers weaves between the rocks, picking at the tiny morsels washed up on the sand.  A small path leads northwest toward a raised ledge that is just high enough for a small stage.</description>

    <description>Strands of seaweed and broken seashells litter the soft sand.  A few hardy tufts of sawgrass snuggle among the rocks near the cliff and cling to the hard ridge of sand marking high tide.  The waves splash against the beach, sending an invitation to play in the surf.</description>

    <description>Water laps against the beach, the golden sand shimmering in the light.  High sandstone cliffs surround the tiny cove, enclosing it protectively.  At high tide, the area is probably underwater -- years of wind and water have eroded caves in the cliff face.</description>

    <description>The towering sandstone walls close one end of the beach and tumble into the ocean.  Mounds of seaweed and driftwood deposited by the tide are heaped among the scattered rocks at the foot of the cliff.  High in the cliffs, an osprey's aerie sits upon a ledge of rock overlooking the sea and cove.</description>

    <description>A perched albatross sits calmly upon a worn wooden post that stands along the rough path, and the cliff tops loom dark against the sky.  Lining the side of the path, two huge images are carved into the rock itself, their gaze intent upon the sea.  Seashells crackle in the sand underfoot, and the salty tang of the sea is strong.</description>

    <description>The path narrows sharply, forcing travelers to watch their step.  Finely ground seashells crunch underfoot, preventing the path from becoming too slick during stormy weather.  The cliff face rises smooth and steep on one side, the soil glittering with a sandy pattern.  The face at this point is unblemished but for one small niche.</description>

    <description>A hint of spice upon the air drifts from burning candles placed on a huge iron candelabrum.  Every time someone enters through the tent flap swirls of sand dance across the braided rugs that line the ground.  A rustling of paper can be heard from a clerk straightening up errant scrolls.</description>

    <description>The breakers crash and thunder against the rocks, sending salty spray high into the air as the wind buffets.  The whitecap-speckled ocean stretches out until it blends with the sky and in the distance can be seen the white triangles of a fishing fleet battling the elements for a living.  The cliff face offers a meager foothold for a stunted pine that seems to sprout from bare rock.</description>

Every step is crucial while clinging to the bare rock, with bits of the path crumbling with each step.</description>

    <description>Though the fauna along this section of the pathway is minimal, a lone banyan tree dominates the left side of the path.  One of its sturdier roots, worn by weather and man alike, sprouts out to the side serving as a guide and a rest on the weary traveler's ascent.  A faint mist creates a romantic silhouette against the dark branches of the tree.</description>

    <description>A misty spray, borne upon a brisk wind, plays across the jutting cliff's edge.  The roar of the ocean fills the air while the sun beams down mercilessly on the sparkling sea.  A flat rock has been cut out by the wind's rough hand and is surrounded by lichen and the sprawl of sea-star flowers.</description>

    <description>The cracked ground of this rough, barren tract lists toward its only feature: a lone tree, bent from years of buffeting by the highland winds.  The branches, all growing from the leeward side, give the tree the appearance of a swooning maid eternally captured in mid-fall.</description>

    <description>A painter stands near the edge of the cliff, her easel carefully positioned before her as she delicately touches brush to canvas.  Her eyes move rapidly between it and the ocean that seems to stretch outward to infinity.  Below, the waves continue their endless motion, the booming sound of water meeting earth fading with distance yet clearly heard.  As the sun slowly changes position overhead its light seems to dance upon the multi-hued surface of the water, creating sparkling images upon the waves.</description>
