The sky overhead is often a vast, unbroken dome, the sunlight glinting off the water and casting a pale, ethereal glow on the shore, particularly as the day begins to soften towards evening. The character of Middleton Beach is one of open, unpretentious beauty, a place where the elements hold sway and the land meets the sea with a quiet, enduring strength.
