Quit pulling this off topic.
OT: I live near the beach, and some areas do have bluffs in front of the sand. However, in all of those places, there are wooden stairs going from top to bottom every 50-100 yards are so. I like the cliffs (they have pretty graphics  ) but I do kinda see the annoyance some people feel. Having someone get to work on stair graphics would be nice.

Little difficult to portray stairs like that on vertical cliff lines xD especially on a 2D game :o
Though, as Snk said he originally wanted only one way onto the island, the bridge as opposed to having the beach access at the top as you do now
