Where the sea touches the shore

Writing prompt – Tide

The small coastal town where I live sits on the edge of one of Earth's greatest tidal ranges. It re-sculpts views and terrains, providing the perfect habitat for wading birds one day and fish the next.

Last week, I strolled towards the path to a rocky beach and discovered it had been swallowed by the sea... Yet I know that in the next few days it will shrug off its driftwood and seaweed to reappear as though it was never hidden.

Can you write a story inspired by this variance? How do these dramatic changes impact your characters?
