To describe a room/a lonely beach and a difficult decision.


Lonely beach: isolated, desolate, deserted (the beach generally); steely grey, azure blue, rippling, foaming, crashing waves (the sea/waves); pale, ashy, pebble-strewn (the sand); craggy, jagged, rocky, barnacle-encrusted (the rocks/cliffs)

Difficult decision: burdensome, galling, tough, wearying, exhausting, onerous

As for the room, you'll have to give me a brief description of it before I'll be able to give you suggestions for adjectives!
