1. The remnants of a shipwreck stick out of the water, a relic of a bygone era.
   
   
2. A group of pirates are trading the chest full of silks for a sack full of gold coins.
   
   
3. The thunderous crash of distant waves on the rocky cliffs creates a constant drumbeat.
   
   
4. The ghostly outline of an old shipwreck appears visible at low tide.
   
   
5. A mystical merchant sets up a pop-up bazaar on the beach, selling enchanted items and arcane maps. He offers the party a rare map leading to the burial grounds of an ancient pirate lord but warns that the graveyard is guarded by powerful spectral guardians.
   
   
6. A group of people are praying for help at a statue of a god. They have been praying for a long time and have not gotten any help. They will ask the party for help and give them something if they do.
   
   
7. The sound of crashing waves can be heard nearby. The sound is coming from a nearby cave where a group of orcs are living. They recently discovered the cave and have been making it their home. The orcs are sleeping off a drunken stupor right now, but if the players approach, they will wake up and attack.
   
   
8. Roaming the rocky outcrops, you meet Vasha, a lycanthropic beachcomber. During the day, she’s a friendly guide, but beware the full moon, when she turns into a were-seal. Learning to deal diplomatically with both sides of her nature may grant unexpected boons, while disrespecting her condition will lead to dire confrontations.
   
   
9. Someone is painting small pebbles with beach scenes.
   
   
10. A group of merfolk are sitting on the beach, drinking and laughing. If players approach, they will ask them to join in their merriment.
