lol, I found the place on the map and it turned out to be a National Park. I did not know it then. Behind the sand dune is the Atlantic Ocean.

This was early morning and we stood on a cliff with the Atlantic ocean below us. A few birds walking on the shore. Too far away really. Needed a tube to even see them. But there was some oystercatchers. A new species for the trip. There is one on the documentary shot that I took through the tube.
