I used this sample in the production of the reading of the story "A Revelation of Cormorants" by Mark Valentine for the audio horror podcast show Pseudopod. The link is here:

Most real beach recordings are a little too choppy and chaotic to be rhythmic and ambient, but this fits the bill *perfectly*. Thank you many times over.
