The wind arrives first — cool off the Atlantic, carrying salt and sand across a wide, low coastline where dunes meet a glassy lagoon. Riders will feel the quad's pulse underfoot as it skims packed sand, then slow to the deliberate sway of a camel tracing the waterline. It's an immediate contrast: throttle and dust, then quiet hoofbeats and a slow horizon.
