Crescent Beach, just south of Crescent City CA, is a long, wide sandy stretch. It’s known as a place to find sand dollars. The trouble with such a reputation is that the beach pretty much gets picked clean of them. The same thing happens at beaches known for shells, sea glass, clams, or whatever.
But Crescent Beach is a nice place for a walk on a gray morning. The sound of the surf overrides most other sounds. It’s like white noise that enables contemplation. And that’s good.
From a poem called "Sea Fever"..... I must go down to the sea again, for the call of the rolling tide, is a wild call and a clear call that must not be denied...
