This has to be one of the best walks in the world.

To the left and right the ocean pulses with life - waves, boats, people, and creatures. Ahead, couples stroll holding hands, children laugh and play.

The sun is bright, yet delicate in the morning hours of the day as it tickles your face.

The air is ripe with the smell of freshly deposited seaweed on the rocks, with a tinge of fishiness. A sublime combination.

You can't help but smile as a gull cackles in the distance. You can picture it throwing it's head back as it ends its laugh.

Voices of men are muffled in the background as they talk about what pole and line they are using and what their biggest catch has been.

The railing is smooth, yet encrusted with the salt that is ever present in the air. It leaves your hand feeling soiled, yet clean at the same time.

The simple life.

This is the jetty life.
