A sandy beach. The outgoing tide has left waves in the sand. And spotted here and there are the "cake decoration" fecal castings of lugworms; round, coiled, tube-like masses of clean sand. The worms in their burrows swallow the sand, digest the organic detritus, and poop out the rest onto the surface.
