Write a detailed description of a eerie scene outside a coastal area with crashing waves, gulls, and a sheer cliff face.

Crashing waves break against brecciated rock covered in chitons and barnacles, while gulls perch on nearby rocks, sleeping restlessly. The pungent stench of rotting vegetation and scuttling creatures stranded outside of the safety of evaporating pools mingles with the sharp sea spray. A sheer cliff face prevents southward travel, the ocean beckons to the north and a series of shallow pools stretch to the east.
