The sound of waves crashing on a sandy beach and breezes rustling through palm fronds. The warmth of sun on your skin and the grit of sand sticking to salty toes. The smell of sunscreen and marine saltwater. And the endless ripples of water stretching toward the horizon, somehow always changing yet always constant. The sensory experiences of islands and coastlines are both calming and liberating, setting the scene for you to explore at a comfortable pace, with eyes open to the world around you and mind reflecting on how to internalize the experience. These are the places you bring home with you to call on when someone asks you to “close your eyes and picture a beautiful place."
