  The 
  Marcuni 
  peninsula 
  is 
  tied 
  to 
  the 
  land 
  

   by 
  a 
  double-faced, 
  wave-made 
  beach. 
  A 
  traverse 
  of 
  the 
  strand 
  

   involves 
  clambering 
  over 
  jutting 
  rocks, 
  climbing 
  precipitous 
  

   headlands, 
  and 
  walking 
  on 
  beaches 
  of 
  yielding 
  sand. 
  Most 
  of 
  

   the 
  headlands 
  plunge 
  into 
  deep 
  water 
  and

  low 
  sand 
  beaches
