The vehicle crunches over salt-flat gravel, then the dune rises like a living wall; a few minutes later the ocean appears, flat and bright, as if waiting to meet the desert. On a Sandwich Harbour 4x4 tour you ride that border—windows streaked with spray, tires digging into hard-packed sand—stopping at wind-sculpted viewpoints where dunes spill directly into the Atlantic.
