Gnarled trees with exposed roots are on the sandy shore of Punta San Francisco Beach in Costa Rica.

Wind-shaped coastal trees grow across the sandy edge of Punta San Francisco Beach in Costa Rica. Exposed roots and twisted trunks spread over low rock outcrops and sand, where erosion and salt exposure have left the vegetation close to the ground. Fallen leaves and scattered drift material collect around the base of the trees at the transition to coastal scrub.
