A splash, then laughter. Seagulls overhead join in, squawking with delight. The waves crash over each other and add the bass to the strange symphony of the sea. I hear distant chatter of countless people behind me, but it seems far away. The mighty waves dominate the scene, silencing all else with their thunderous crashes.
