Thanks, PJ! I was not sure if people were just being polite as I noticed the thread got a bunch of hits, but no comments.

Anyway, about the terrain - the ground was solid. You are walking over some slick rock with a lot of seaweed for about 30 or 40 feet. The ground is typical sea bottom and is solid when you cross that area. As to the stink - no, it was not smelly at all. The area that is visible at low-tide (at least the width) was perhaps no more than 20 feet across. When Chanthee and I crossed, it was closer to about 10 feet across before hitting the ocean. When we made the passage, we were definitely a bit concerned about getting stuck there - or falling on the rocks as we traversed the area.
