A drone saw a strange phenomenon: the 600-meter sand line after low tide was alive?

[Island] At 10am on the first day, my sun protection jacket suddenly performed a magic trick of floating over the Ten Mile Golden Beach. It was like a jellyfish cast a spell by a siren, suddenly rolling up into a spiral of Turkish ice cream, suddenly stretching out into a flying bath towel in "Spirited Away", and finally landing accurately on the coconut smoothie of the guy at the surfboard rental shop - the most magical way to start this journey was hidden in the pocket of my sun-protection jacket that was blown into a kite by the sea breeze.
[Beach] The waves gnaw at the rocks, making a crackling sound similar to opening a blind box. Standing on the "pearl-spitting" beach strip in Dinglong Bay, I suddenly realized that the sea water here might have selective amnesia: in the morning it was the same jelly texture as in the Maldives, at noon it switched to the treasure map filter of Pirates of the Caribbean, and at dusk it suddenly began to imitate the fluorescent sea in "Life of Pi". Three hundred meters away at Texas Water World, the roller coaster was packing screams into cans and pouring them into the salty and humid sea breeze.
