Relaxing Imagine yourself sitting in the sand as you would be sitting on a soft blanket in the grass. The sand grains warm your body like your sitting in a sauna, as the piercing sun reflects its boiling rays on the sand and your body. The glowing sun is directly above you; its rays feel like you’re inside an oven that you are yearning to get out of but the cool breeze of the ocean wind is keeping you wanting more. You look in front of you, and you see the beautiful, aqua blue waves roaring against the shore. The sound is so precious; it could make you sleep like a baby right there in the sand. The waves are coming back and forth replenishing your body with water. As the waves rise to your feet its cool feel sends a chill through your whole body and just for it to react with the heat from the sun form a sensation feeling like hot and cold patches all over your body. Behind you, you see the miles and miles of resorts. The resorts remind you of all the 5-star ratings AAA gives, beautiful, colorful, and high-class. In front of the hotels, you see umbrellas lined up perfectly side by side, like you see cars lined up in a dealership parking lot. The umbrellas help your body stay out of the dehydration and the heat. The umbrella’s bright yellow, orange, and red colors match the rays of the sun excellently. The little children keep running back and forth from their sand castles to the ocean. The sounds of laughter just force the smile upon your face. These castles are something you have never been able to build, but some kids have a natural talent. The sand castles look like a professional house that was just built down the road; they are exact, lively, and amazing. The views just put you in that fantasy of one day having that dream house where every day would be like this one here. As I look towards the ocean, I see groups and groups of muscular, tan, and very

    As I waltzed on the beach, squishing down the hot buttery-yellow sand that gave off the hot sensation of a burning grill sizzling my feet, I was immediately taken by the scent of freshly sliced fruits and freshly picked flowers. As you move along, brightly colored fruit stalls filled the sidewalks from which fresh fruit is cut. From a fruit stand, the scent travelled all across the beach with the help of the cool breeze which allowed the scent to fill the air. With my eyes closed, I breathed in the ocean bliss that paraded the beach. As I turn towards the sea, I was amazed. It was a deep blue in some areas but in others a glistening turquoise green. As I made my way towards the water as it laps over each time it reaches to the shore, overhead I heard the frantic screech of seagulls like a sharp knife dragged along a glass. As you dive into the deep blue ocean you can feel and taste the chilly, cool and refreshing water surrounding your body as chills ran down my back. Further from the beach there was a volcano that looked like a giant firework to…

    While sitting at the shoreline I am reminded why the beach is my peaceful spot, with the screeching sounds of seagulls scurrying about for food along the shore line, the smell of barbeque cooking, loud music coming from the jeeps passing by, and families coming together. Being relaxed and at peace I allow myself to drift off for a peaceful nap. I am soon awoken by the tide coming in, I open my eyes, and to my surprise, I see the setting sun hanging in the sky like a red-orange balloon off in the distance. I find myself alone on the beach. The surf has ceased to crash on the shores, the placid waves gently roll onto the sand. The sky is transformed into a colorful horizon; filled with endless streams of purple and…

    You can feel the soft sand with your bare feet as you're going down the long warm sand dune. You can feel the sun baking your skin slowly like your inside an oven, when you're laying flat on a blanket on the beach, you can feel the wind blowing in your hair as you stand on the lookout. You can feel the force of the hard rhythmic waves as they push you back to shore and then you fell the sharp shells and rough rocks as you step out of the water. If you walk on the beach you will smell the scent of fish and seaweed and when you walk into the woods you will smell the pungent scent that will remind you of dog waste, you will also smell a strong smell of grass after being mowed and if you walk back to camp you will smell the sweet scent of mosquito spray, the smell of rice and chicken and herbs. You will taste the fresh air at camp and the seaweed tasting beach water , the sweetness of chocolate and marshmallow after being cooked in the fire, the saltiness of the many bags of chips you will eat, the spice of the biryani, the sourness of the sugar sticks and skittles and if you’re lucky you will taste the mud of…

    You see, I do not necessarily care for the blistering hot days southern Florida is known for. I enjoy the beach the most when it is cooler; especially when it has just rained. I sit back in my beach chair and look up to the sky. The clouds create a pleasant, refreshing blanket from the hot sun. I take a deep breath and, I can smell the rain that has just fallen. Now, the clouds are breaking and letting little slivers of sunlight shine threw. The new sun seems to change the color of everything. The sand is a bright white with speckles of glittering shells. The ocean is a deep shade of aqua with the sunlight glistening over it. This is…

    We stroll on the beach, and my feet sink into the soft sand. I stroll along, and the grainy, slick, brown sugar sand pulls my bare feet under and leaves a perfect imprint. I pick up a handful and sift it from my palm slowly, feeling the grittiness of sand with each finger. The view down the beach of the white, but slightly brown sand was enough to make my knees go weak. The sand is such a sensational feeling between my toes and a beautiful view against the crystal blue water.…

    As I was floating in the ocean with my eyes closed a feeling of tranquility came over me. The sun was shining on full power of brightness with a bluest sky on the background. I felt the sun’s rays permeating the skin on my face and it was getting burnt like toast in the oven. The cold water was constantly tickling the burnt inside of my ears. The rest of my body was under the water and I felt like I was dissolving in the ocean becoming one with all around me. My face was getting hotter because it was captured by luminous monster. The waves were washing my incandescent skin like they wash out traces on the sand. I felt like the ocean knew me better than I knew myself. I couldn’t plan a more perfect, overwhelming feeling. The strong movements of the waves, floating my body with its motion like the wind catches a leaf and blowing it back and forth, made me feel so little and weak. I listened to the duet of wind and waves like a sweet lullaby being sung by a loveling mother to sooth her baby to sleep. I felt safe in Mother Nature’s arms, a peaceful timeless moment only to be enjoyed spontaneously. As I opened my eyes it was over, the moment was gone. All I could think of was how beautiful everything was around me, telling its own story.…

    The weather this summer was hot and alluring that it just reminds me of how hot and steamy it was at the lake. As soon as we arrived to Lake Havasu and took a step out of the car, I can literally just feel the humidity of the weather and feel it all over my body. That’s exactly how I felt this summer at the beach, when I got out of the car and I put one foot in the sand I just felt the scorching sand in-between my toes. It gave me the same sensation that the lake made me feel; it was about 115 degrees at the lake. It might have not been that hot this summer but my memory just triggered back to it.…

    The ocean dances beneath the sunlight which was sparkling on the rippling waves. The color of the ocean was a rich deep blue in some spots and in others a bright, aquamarine green. We drove down to a beach called Sandy’s. The warm sand squished under my feet. I stopped just before the water touched my toes. I stood there taking it all in. The sun on my bare white shoulders and the warm cozy sand beneath my…
