An evening on the beach Night was falling. The setting sun’s red rays lit up the sky above the western horizon. I could see an oil tanker making its way across the sea just on the horizon. Soon the sun disappeared below the horizon and the sky turned dark but my two friends and I sat on the beach gazing at the place where the sun went down. Sunsets are mesmerizing as we discovered.

Beachy Paradise One of my most favourite places in the world would be the blazing hot beaches in Fiji. Deuba beach is a sandy wonderland filled with childhood memories. Things I will never forget. Ripples of water boil in the beaming sun making itself a big spa. Odd slimy seaweed flows in and out‚ rhythmically moving with the current‚ not causing a single suspense.
