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 am a patron of this shop.  Most of us live a subsistance life, and obtain money only by trading. I am here today to buy a new needle. I have worn mine out. Metal products are expensive, and I have been saving up for awhile because I knew that I would need to replace my needle to make clothes for my family.
Why would a lighthouse and a beauty around here keep people away? I am looking to buy some needles around here, and I stopped here to admire the beauty and to figure out where I should go. Well, if a lighthouse were to attract ships, the ships would run aground and we would need to rethink travel by way of sea wouldn't we? *laughs*  Needles eh?  Chesterwick is about a hour's ride east of here, and has a large knitting community if needles are what you're after. People visit lighthouse's all the time or come near to view this ocean side. What are the deals and prices they offer? Fairly good or overexpensive? I have been saving up money for awhile because I know metal products are expensive. Aye, we get the odd visitor now and then, but we're a wee bit off the beaten path hereabouts.  Chesterwick has the finest Needlework this side of Sarum, so no doubt they are of quality, yes siree.  Price rises with quality, though I hear the used needle trade is just bustling since the last wreck to come ashore. The last wreck? I am unaware of this. What happened? Well the light can be a bit finicky see, sometimes she goes out if we get too much wind.  Chesterwick had a large shipment of needles coming in during the last storm - and wouldn't you know it, a gust of wind knocked out the light.  Good salvage to be had when the ship hit Devil's Reef, and more needles than you can shake a stick at.   Where was this wreck, and where are those needles? Think I could go fish some out somewhere? It would beat buying them!  Devil's reef is about a quarter mile past the light on the way to Chesterwick.  Salvage pickers usually clean up the wrecks pretty quickly, but you might still find a few scraps.  Was only the third wreck this week, so you might find a few hammers and caskets among the needles. This is like finding gold. Do people get in trouble for this or fined? I'd hate to get in trouble over it...  Naw, "finders keepers" is the law of salvage about these parts, as long as the wreck lies below the mean high water mark.  You've probably noticed that most of the houses around here are made from wreck salvage.  Third largest industry after Knitting and Needle importation in Chesterwick. This is so exciting! My dear family will appreciate this so much. Say, how often do these wrecks happen? Usually a handful a week, more if we get lucky.  We're the only port this side of Sarum, so the traffic is usually pretty brisk.  If folks would use their charts they'd be fine, but you know those young folk - to eager to shave a few minutes off a voyage and BAM!  Right into Devil's Reef.
