A walk along the cliffs on a bright sunny blue sky day. The view looks down onto a small inlet behind the eroded cliffs.  A narrow passage allows the sea forms a stony beach covered by clear blue water.  On the other side the small rocky island is a narrow section of rock joined to the mainland.  On the horizon  a tiny white yacht sails the calm sea.
