A hiker stands quietly on a sun-bleached log, looking out over an endless stretch of sand and driftwood as a thick coastal fog erases the horizon. The sky and sea have blurred into the same pale gray, giving the whole world a hushed, dreamlike stillness. Crocs dangle from his pack, grains of sand cling to his calves, and the wind carries only the distant hush of surf. This isn’t a place to rush through. It’s the kind of barren, beautiful nowhere that asks you to pause. To listen. To disappear for a moment and let the beach guide you.
