0 Hi New2, I don't see anything wrong. I'm a little puzzled by the logic of going to the beach for fishing. Perhaps you could explain what you have in mind.02br

00You could be thinking of a beach at a lake or a beach at the ocean. Are you planning to stand on the beach and cast out into the water, or are you planning to wade into the water and cast out? Be careful n

0At each end of a beach, there's usually a cape and one can climb to the tip of the cap and cast out into the sea/ocean.02br
00Where I live, the capes are usually small in size, extending probably 50 metres into the sea. And the best part is there are thousands of beaches here and most of them get less than 10 visitors a day. Please correct any misunderstanding of cape, beach, sea an

0 Most of what we call "capes" are big enough to accomodate a town or two or three - Cape Canaveral, Cape Cod. In New England, Cape Cod is simply referred to as "the cape." The ones you're referring to are usually called "points," or "a point of land," or "where the land juts out." The larger ones often have (proper) names.

00A point is not necessarily sharper than a cape. It may have a tip or it may simply have an end.02br

0I was talking about a land with rocks on its sides projecting into the sea and it doesn't have a high cliff and the sides ascend at a modest slope, probably 30 degrees. I guess climbing over the rocks is more suitable.0-

0 Yes, I wasn't sure if "ran and climbed" meant first one and then the other, or if you were describing what we sometimes call "scrambling up the hill," which is sort of a combination of both.02br
02br
00I don't think you're talking about a bunch of big rocks sticking up out of the water, where you can easily slip and fall in. 0-

00I wanted to say we rushed the point and climbed at a normal pace to the end (?) of it.02br
