The picture tells the story.  Nature has put up one last bastion of terrestrial defense against the endless power of the sea and wind.  Beyond this protective cover, the confident few gather to bask in the energy provided by nature in the form of sun, water and wind.

They don't like to be bothered and definitely don't like to be photographed, but you can see hints of them in the lower left hand corner just in the tops of the grass.
