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

    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…

    As Bethany Hamilton once said, "Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, is like a gift he has given us to enjoy." The smell of grilled hot dogs lingered in the hot, Summer air from the boardwalk, and I smiled because I knew that it was going to be a wonderful day. To begin, I ran towards the luscious, majestic waves as they kissed the shoreline. For example, the waves came crashing down onto the sand with such a powerful force. As I began to run closer to the ocean, my feet touched the jewel- blue water, making my body shiver. Next, I looked around the crowded beach at all of the kids playing, noticing how much fun they were having. For instance, I could hear the waves splashing and the children playing on this hot Summer day. The sand…

    The sand scorched our feet like steaks on a fiery grill. I had brought the Rock along to join me for a surfing lesson. We snatched our wetsuits and our boards and hit the waves. The ocean water sends a chilling sensation through my body. The polar water feels like a steamy shower after a long day, calming and relaxing. The waves are monstrous and intimidating, however, I seem to ride them effortlessly like I had done it a million times before. I dash past the Rock and under a curling wave. In the waves there are vividly colored fish swimming in schools. The water is so translucent that one can easily see the ocean floor, and the coral and seaweed that lay on…

    As I sprint across the hot sand that burns the soles of my feet, the smell of salt water and sunscreen hits my face. I can see teenagers nearby as they dive to save a falling volleyball, covering themselves in grains of sand. While I’m preoccupied, watching the intense game of volleyball, the cold waves of the Atlantic Ocean come crashing down on my legs. I can hear my best friend, Tara, dying of laughter as my body tries to adjust to the temperature of the sparking turquoise waters. Surrounding us is vibrantly colored tropical plants and trees.…

    As I walk down the narrow, brown, rickety bridge that leads to the ocean my heart begins to race in anticipation of reaching the fascinating sight. I’m suddenly surrounded by sand that is white and pure as snow. I walk at a turtle’s speed absorbing this overwhelming beauty that encircles me. The sky is the brightest blue I’ve ever seen, so bright that it almost seems as if it is from an animated movie and not real life itself. Fluffy clumps of clouds that were covering the sky before slowly fade away into thin air and the crystal clear waves sparkle like diamonds. The water is never-ending. I see heaps of seagulls flying around the sky, white and grey and full of spirit. As a gust of wind runs through my long, dark, brown hair I look to the right to see two elegant dolphins leap from the deep blue sea and dive back in as if saying hello to the gorgeous, heavenly day.…
