The sea opens like a moving corridor as you slip off the sand and into a double kayak, the Atlantic breathing cool salt across your face. Guides check life vests with the easy authority of people who read tides the way others read schedules; the van door closes behind the last tourist and the party files toward a shoreline engraved by time. Paddle strokes find a rhythm, water parting politely as limestone cliffs begin to rise, honey-colored and scored with fossil bands.
