Notes

• You begin with 11 free beach walks, resetting at rollover or ascension. Otherwise, a beach walk costs one adventure.
• You can comb the beach while falling down drunk.
• Choosing a number of minutes to walk (0-10,000) puts you on a beach, where you can choose a spot to comb. Beaches have rough sand, combed sand (if this spot was already combed by you or another player) and, rarely, a beach head, sand castle or whale.
• Beaches periodically reset at unknown intervals, removing combed sand and regenerating sand castles.
• The number of rows on each section of beach can vary by day (presumably influenced by the tides/moon phases.)

Beach Heads

• There are eleven beach heads, each at a fixed location. Combing a head gives you 50 adventures of an effect. You may comb each head once per day.

You comb the beach head, trying to not think too hard about what that thing is, exactly. It gives you some kind of magical blessing as a tip.
