    Crushing violently against the slick and glimmering rocks that intermittently align the picturesque shore‚ the wonderfully blue velvet waves can be raucously heard from thousands of yards away. Jagged-edged and slippery‚ the mountains of bordering boulders act like the Great Wall of China‚ providing a barrier against the thrashing surf. The transparent sea seems to threaten passersby who dare to boldly venture closer‚ as the unfolding currents roll forward with intimidation. Reckless and consistent
