When I took this photo the sea was about 50 feet behind me so these are oceanfront houses. I don’t really understand the long narrow yards.
There is so much oceanfront here that it doesn’t seem like oceanfront property is all that expensive. We see lots of quite modest homes right next to the water.
Mostly it made me think of the thin lots you sometimes see in New Mexico caused by multiple children inheriting the same land without the primogeniture that preserves English estates.
