The surf edges up the shore and the horses answer with a soft, steady drum as you move along Macao Beach toward the river mouth. Salt air pushes at your cheeks; a guide steadies your mount and points to the low cliffs where the water widens into the Macao River. In late afternoon light the sand pulls a long, cool shadow under hoofprints — the beach inviting a slower pace and steady rhythm.
