On a boat, heading toward a tall wall of grey rocks, they slowly move apart. The angles create an optical illusion that the "gates" are opening for you. As they open, water of the purest blue comes into sight. The teal blue waters bleed into a white sand quartz beach. Palm trees in the background point to the sky. As you enter the cove, you see the cliffs closing behind you as ripples in the water splash onto the shore, washing shells and seaweed gently onto the beach.
