Ocean city reflective beach

Surfcasting
One of my favorite places is to fish at Ocean City Maryland on the shore. The beach is about an hour and fifteen minutes away from my house in Carroll County, Maryland. Ever since I was little, I would frequently visit the beach and loved how many different things there were. Some of the things I did when coming down for a day or staying at my cousins is fish, boogie board, dig for sand crabs, surf, or play soccer on the beach. All of these activities are my favorite, but surf fishing for sharks around five o’clock in the evening is my favorite in the middle of summer. As I show up at the beach and pick a spot where not many people around due to the day coming to the end. After I finish unloading all my gear and get everything set up, I wade out to about thigh high and cast out the line. The next step is to prop my rod up in the pipe stand and adjust my line so I can see when a shark takes the bait. As I sit back and wait in the sand, I marveled at the view around and realized there is nothing like sitting at the ocean, with a line cast out in the water as dusk falls. I begin to notice the environment around me as I sit there, I can smell and taste the salty air I am so close to it. I can hear the waves continuously hitting and receding from the shore. Also, the kids playing on the beach and the bustling of the people on boardwalk can be heard off in the background. Also, seeing the expansive ocean without any sight of land and amazing sight whole new world and under there. Also, as the light orange sun falls down and reflects on the water it looks truly awesome. During this time, all I do is stare out at the ocean and watch as the sun slowly set in the distance. As this happens all my worries and stressful problems begin to recede away. As time elapses I realize that this is an awesome time to be doing this simply just reflecting on life and how peaceful the ocean can be with so many creatures within it that are so mysterious. I
