Open sand and the plants that hold it together.
More than somewhere to lie down: the sand above the tideline is where sea turtles nest, and the low dune vegetation is what stops the beach washing away.
If you find a nest or a turtle, keep your distance, use no flash, and tell park staff. Do not drive on the dune.
