You’re in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, with a few small islands in sight.

There is nothing but the sound of the wind and the light rush of water. And then the sand ends, and the sea begins, and there you are, walking on water.

Sandbars like this are one of the marvelous features of the Exumas chain of the Bahamas, the place with perhaps the most beautiful water on earth. Locals call it “Windex,” but you can just call it a natural wonder.

This is what it’s like to walk on water.
