Grey's Beach is not on the ocean, or even the bay; it's an inlet, or perhaps the correct word is cove, but you can see the Cape, which eventually turns into the Atlantic, off in the distance. Most of Grey's Beach is actually marshland. It has an odd swampy smell, and the water level changes daily making it too mushy to walk on, inviting as it is. I can't help but think of Cathy and her Heathcliff.
