The coast seems to stretch on for miles in either direction.  The ocean itself has receded some and the tide has not yet rolled in.  The water laps half-heartedly at the sand and the glistening shades of seashells dot the wet sand.  All around the sand gleams a shade of white.
Coast, Shore

there is the lighthouse keeper on his daily walk up the boardwalk.
I make sure the lighthouse works. I work long hours. I do not like ships coming into shore.
good morning..how are you? I'm great! I'm ready to start the day! Are you? yes, i am Have a busy day ahead planned? yes.. the ships will be arriving today How many ships? Sounds like a busy day indeed though about 6 of them Is that how many usually come in a day? just 2 on a normal day That's not too bad. 6 is super busy then you can say that again I hope it goes well for you today
