Q2) As for sentence S, does "Up and down the coast" modify the word "drawn" ?

Q3) As for sentence S, what does this prepositional phrase "on the edge of a seascape of surf and sky and rocks" describe or modify?

I think that sentences S seems to be correct English, but I'm not really sure about Q2 and Q3.

Should "on the edge of a seascape of surf and sky and rocks" be put right next to "coast" as in "Up and down the coast on the edge of a seascape of surf and sky and rocks" ?
