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.
