To the east stretches a line of tall dunes looming darkly against the paler night sky, sheltering this relatively flat area from the worst of the storms and spray off the ocean. A line of small, shallow ponds separated by dikes into squares stretches alongside the pathway, in various stages of evaporation. In the very shallowest pool, salt crystals coat the edges and sparkle in the dim light like powdered diamonds.
