Richard Henry Dana wrote the book "Two Years Before the Mast"...

“There was a grandeur in everything around, which gave almost a solemnity to the scene: a silence and solitariness which affected everything! Not a human being but ourselves for miles; and no sound heard but the pulsations of the great Pacific!”

These are the words of Richard Henry Dana, describing his 1835 memory of the beach at San Juan, now a town in Orange County known as Dana Point.
