I wanted a terrain that didn't feel quite so huge but would still have plenty of room if needed. So I played around in SC4 and came up with this one. I made one section on slightly higher ground (road on the farthest right).
shown using mostly the largest beach lots.
more beach lots could fit, if you want them too
the little sandbars are for those of us that like to decorate our hoods
