these are some of my favourite things;
Fire and stars.

Y'know, I don't think I've ever seen the sky of stars. I live in one of the worst cities on the planet for light pollution, and I don't travel much.
Now I'm all tempted to visit a beach at night. Seeing one or two in the daylight hasn't done much for me either.

Yeah, I know, I've always lived in large cities. In Toronto, I can see maybe a grand total of five stars. So seeing the entire night sky full of stars was pretty amazing.
XD Maybe you should try it! Bring something warm to throw on, but otherwise, I like it a lot better than when it's noisy and crowded in daytime.

Yeah, I've heard they get pretty cold at night...but I'd take that over crowded any day.

Agreed. 'sides, if you go in summer, depending on how warm it gets where you are, it's not so bad. The breeze is nice, and I was fine in a T-shirt and a light cardigan.

Oh yes, that's right! Luckyyyy. I mean, I lived in NYC for a while, but I was younger and also, idk, NYC isn't a very good coastal city for beaches. XD But yes, I think you've got it (or as much of it as one can get in words): there's like ... an odd overwhelming feeling of just how tiny you are, but at the same time, a connection to something bigger. And then you look out to sea, and even if you can't really see it, you can hear the waves and everything is just ... zen and lovely.
