It is hot out, isn't it, Colton? The other path leads down a steep hill (almost so steep, you have to climb down) to Apricot Bay's east beach. Mossy sea stacks cover up huge swathes of the sky, and the splashing water is about as pleasant and refreshing-looking as it gets. Might be a good place to wash off a little too.
Aside from that, the beach wraps around some hills and peaks and continues on for a good long while. You also see a little wooden bridge with lanterns hanging from the corner posts, presumably for nighttime. That one leads back towards the green of the town.
