The helicopter lifts off with Cable Beach sliding away beneath you — a broad sweep of cream sand rimmed by a turquoise sea that seems to push and pull with the tide. From this low-level vantage the coastline becomes a study in color and movement: pearl farm grids lace the shallows like geometric reefs, the Gantheaume Point lighthouse perches like a small white punctuation, and the red cliffs at James Price Point flare against the blue.
