Herring Cove Beach

At Nauset, the cliff ends, the sea invades the narrowing land, and one enters the kingdom of the dunes.

The sand here has a life of its own, even if it is only a life borrowed from the wind.

. . . the plain of ocean and the far bright rims of the world. . .

There is always reserve and mystery, always something beyond, on earth and sea something which nature, honouring, conceals.

Henry Beston, The Outermost House
