The rocks to your northeast are within walking distance, it might be a mile, but will feel like 3 in that soft sand.

I woke up one morning with a severe hangover (more severe than the other mornings) and I usually like to blow out h-overs by drinking a lot of water and then sweating it off. So I ran down Medano beach to town, and it wasn't that far but I thought I was never going to get back with the heat and the soft [Bleeeeep!] sand.
