Location from Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan
The beach where Poseidon and Sally Jackson met — Percy's happy place, and the starting location of his first quest when the Minotaur attacked.
Sally took Percy to Montauk every summer — a quiet Long Island beach where the salt air tasted like freedom and the waves seemed to welcome them both. It's where she met Poseidon on a warm night decades ago, and where Percy has always felt closest to his absent father. The rented cabin is small and humble, smelling of sea salt and the blue taffy Sally buys from the boardwalk. The Minotaur attacked them here on the way to Camp Half-Blood, shattering the cabin door and marking the violent end of Percy's mortal childhood in a spray of monster dust and golden light.
A quiet Long Island beach with a rented cabin and the smell of salt air. It's mundane and beautiful — the kind of place where gods and mortals could fall in love.
