A few steps later in the soft, wet sand that was still cold from the night, I came across a small, half-eaten shark and a few washed up jellyfish. Some steps later, I could feel a slight breeze blowing and the dry sand beneath my feet. I could hear the waves from the ocean come ashore and birds squawking as they were looking for food. Where was I? Any guesses?
