This is a beautiful (potentially sleep-assist) sea soundscape, on the south end of Beeny Cliff, looking across the mouth of Pentargon Cove (near Boscastle, Cornwall, UK), to the cave-punctuated cliffs beyond. With distant very gentle sea action on those cliffs, and gentle sea action much closer to the right, and the seabirds having almost completely gone silent for the day (just the odd final subdued guillemot bedlam in the big cave across the way), we can really relax and enjoy. That closer sea sound to the right is now more pronounced, so nicely balancing with the sound-level of the more distant sea against cliffs to left.
It is the final 30 minutes of https://freesound.org/people/Philip_Goddard/sounds/681578/ , providing the beautiful sea panorama without significant disturbance from the guillemots (I noticed just two subdued episodes), and so more suitable as a sleeping aid.

Advisory
The residual microphone wind noise is very gentle, BUT that would probably still be troublesomely boomy on playback systems affected by a resonance of 'boomy' bass frequencies. That resonance could be in the speakers or (particularly) room acoustics, or of course both. In any case, I strongly recommend listening with high-grade headphones for the best listening experience.
This recording taking place, on minor prominence over alcove housing Beeny Cliff's southernmost roughly west-facing cave entrance. The recorder is facing the more distant headlands and cliffs on the right, so it hears the sea around the guillemots' cave on left, while hearing much closer gentle sea action off to right, on the cliff base on the northern side (to right and somewhat behind) of the cave alcove directly below.
Techie stuff:
The recorder was a Sony PCM-D100, with three nested custom Windcut furry windshields, placed on a 'mini'-size Zipshot tripod.
Post-recording processing was to apply EQ in Audacity to correct for the muffling effect of the windshields and correction for the D100's weakness in very low bass, followed by dynamic EQ from TDR Nova GE VST plugin to reduce the gentle microphone wind noise.
Please remember to give this recording a rating — Thank you!
