Particularly: Describe plot points in this area, if there are any.

Layout

The following notable features can be found in this area.

Sandy and rocky terrain.
Low-lying vegetation.
Palm trees in the distance.
Giant oceans

Bases

Blossoming Dunes: This is the default landing site, found to the right of the sand castle. While they do not stop it from being unlocked, during Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, two Whiptongue Bulborbs can be found by this base.
Water's Edge: This base is unguarded by creatures, but is covered with sand. It can be found towards the map's center, past the pools of water. During Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, this is the default landing site upon first visiting.
The Sand Keep: This base is guarded by a Crusted Rumpup at the top of the large sandcastle near the player's initial landing site. During Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, a Sovereign Bulblax will guard this base.

Caves

Dandori Challenge 1

Found in the elevated area of the level, accessed only through the exit of the Engulfed Castle. The entrance to the Dandori Challenge is in a nearby alcove past the Whiptongue Bulborb.

Dandori Challenge 2

In the large body of water where the Slapstick Crescent and the Giant's Fossil are found, the entrance is hidden in some seaweed. Because its entrance is fully submerged, it is the only Dandori Challenge or Dandori Battle cave without a cutscene encounter with the Leafling of the level, instead simply opening the hole like any regular cave entrance. Oatchi will also emerge regularly from the hole, landing on the seabed and only floating to the top of the water once the exit cutscene has ended.

Dandori Battle

A Dandori Battle can be found near the 1st base, Blossoming Dunes. To the left, the cave's entrance is surrounded by water. As the player and Oatchi are immune to water, they can simply travel up the slope to access the entrance. However, to transport the castaway earned from completing the battle safely, it's recommended the bridge connecting the cave to the mainland is built or the water surrounding it is frozen.
