The Beach Your crystal clear blue water shimmers like precious jewels under the sun. Each powerful wave that crashes onto the shore sounds like thunder. The white foam left from each wave makes me think of a Starbucks latte. Seagulls soar above, squawking as they loudly admire the dazzling waters. Like a castle you hold and protect a sea full of life, just under the surface. In the summer’s heat, the grainy sand burns like hot coals under my feet. The familiar scent of fresh, juicy hot dogs and coconut suntan lotion fills my nose. The tide takes me out deeper into the sea, pushing me like strong hands. A dip into the water refreshes me, like a nice cold shower after working all day. With squishy, wet sand in between my toes,and sounds of laughter,a wave of calmness washes over me. As the sun sets, turning the sky pink and the water black, I sit, watching the radiant view. Finally, I smile, because there’s nothing I love more than a day spent at the beach.
