A broad and long beach paralleled the Pacific Ocean.

The impression of tractor train tracks despoiled the beach sand.

Tethered milk jugs were staked to the sand to mark the location of sea turtle eggs. It was illegal to approach those nests.

A pair of dune buggies raced along the sand on the part of the beach free of sea turtle eggs.

Horses could be ridden along the beach. And, naturally, walking was also permitted.

Local vendors sold their wares on the beach opposite a line of restaurants.

Children's toys remained on the beach. A sand bucket and a sand shovel were idle and unused.

Young musicians and dancers performed for those eating at the restaurants. The performance lasted fifteen minutes and then a hat was passed to collect donations.
