A person in a dark coat stands at the water's edge facing rows of breaking waves.A gull standing in the shallows as a wave breaks behind it.A dog running along the wet sand with a ball in its mouth, sea stacks behind.
Bands of sand, surf and sky on an empty beach.A lone figure far off on an empty beach.A cormorant perched on a ruined wall while a person walks along it, the sea glittering behind.
The ruins of a seaside bath below green bluffs, with the open ocean beyond.A grassy ledge and a ruined pool wall, with rocks offshore.Sea stacks beyond a bank of yellow flowers.
The Golden Gate Bridge seen from a sandy beach.Two people standing on an empty beach under a wide turquoise sky.A white lighthouse at the end of a pier, seen from the beach.A statue of a woman holding a pearl aloft, on a rock in the sea.
An empty boardwalk and beach; a kite is caught on a line of string lights.An amusement pier with a Ferris wheel, seen from above the shoreline.
A yellow bulldozer at the water's edge beyond dune grass.A boardwalk ramp zigzagging toward a distant lighthouse.A row of benches on the sand in low sun; two people sit on one, facing the sea.
A lighthouse seen through tall reeds under a clouded sky.The sun low over the sea under heavy cloud, a wreck on the horizon.
The sun setting over the sea beside a half-sunken wreck; a person stands on the jetty.
