The Marineres gave it biscuit-worms, /
And round and round it flew: /
The Ice did split with a thunder-fit; /
The Helmsman steer'd us thro'. /
The Rime of the Ancient Marinere, in Seven Parts. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1798 version
Tucked away where the sand falls into the sea, this little fishing village is a one-road settlement of fishermen, now boasting a flurry of fresh urbanisation that includes a brand new filling station bang on the beach. Fill your tank under seagulls here, drive around camels munching by the shore and continue southwest.
