Recommended: Descriptions about the beach

Eastern Point Beach divides into four different parts: the beach, the park, the snack bar (concession stand), and the athletic areas. I began my observation at Eastern Point Beach by walking along the beach. As the sand seeped through my toes I reminisced on the fun times me and my family had here. My family and I would go to the beach almost every Wednesday because my parents did not have to work, and I always returned home as red as a lobster. I then turned my attention towards the many families laying on their beach towels; everyone appeared to be in peace and serenity. A couple of individuals had beach chairs, but the majority of individuals laid on beach towels. I stopped for a moment to take in the sun and to look at the unique sea shells

    1141 Words  | 3 Pages

    The whole island is in the shape of a giant square with white sandy beaches full of people sunbathing, swimming and fishing right on the shoreline. From the end of the hot pavement parking lot to shore of the beach is an ocean of soft white sand. The pearlescent white sand seems to know how to invade every nook and cranny almost as if it enjoys it. Walking around the beach on the fluffy whiteness surrounding the parking lot, the seagulls are fighting over scraps of food on the ground. “Sandy beach ecosystems provide invaluable services to humankind. Their functions have been exploited through history, with significant anthropogenic effects (Lucrezi, 2015)”. This white sandy beach is a beautiful refuge from the mundane grind of everyday life. The smell of the misty ocean air mixed with the sound of seagulls hovering above and kids playing is a tonic for the mind. The feel of the sand between their toes and the waves crashing over them as people swim in the water, or the jerk of a fishing pole when someone is catching a fish makes Fred Howard Park one of the best places to relax. Standing on the beach looking out on the water, people are kayaking and windsurfing. The lifeguards watching vigilantly in their bright red shirt and shorts, blowing their whistles when they see someone being unsafe. After a long day of swimming and laying around visitors head back over the soft white sand to the showers, in order to rinse off the menacing sand that clings to everything like a bad habit. Everyone rushes over the hot pavement burning their feet to reach their cars so they can put away their beach paraphernalia which is still covered in the white sand, nearly impossible to completely leave behind, so when they get home it serves as a reminder of where they were that

  • Analysis Of FYB By Zadie Smith

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    In her narrative essay, “FYB”, Zadie Smith expresses her belief that if one redirects their mindset to a more limited perspective and uses the limitless Manhattan mentality at certain times, one can arrive at their beach. A beach is a mentality, and Smith finds her beach by coming to peace with Manhattan’s beach. The idea of a person’s “beach” being hard to discover may be observed through Smith’s personal background, as it is almost mythical for this English writer living in Soho, Manhattan to come by a beach.

    The smell of the restaurants faded and the new, refreshing aroma of the sea salt in the air took over. The sun’s warmth on my skin and the constant breeze was a familiar feeling that I loved every single time we came to the beach. I remember the first time we came to the beach. I was only nine years old. The white sand amazed me because it looked like a wavy blanket of snow, but was misleading because it was scorching hot. The water shone green like an emerald, it was content. By this I mean that the waves were weak enough to stand through as they rushed over me. There was no sense of fear of being drug out to sea like a shipwrecked sailor. Knowing all this now I knew exactly how to approach the beach. Wear my sandals as long as I could and lay spread out my towel without hesitation. Then I’d jump in the water to coat myself in a moist protective layer before returning to my now slightly less hot towel. In the water it was a completely different world. While trying to avoid the occasional passing jellyfish, it was an experience of

    I instantly feel more relaxed and at ease here. There are no hotels or resorts of any kind on this island, merely a primitive campground laid out in several loops with each loop surrounding a bathhouse. The barrier separating the campground from the ocean is the massive dunes towering over the campsites. The entire campground is like a miniature oceanside community where neighbors are bound together by similar passions. Each site has its own fire ring and picnic table allowing for dinner under the tranquil sky. Everything is slower here where families can come to simply spend time together playing games, trail hiking and group biking are all activities that everyone here participates in. It is here, in this place, with these other people that I am effortlessly able to simply be me. There are several trails on the island that wind through the forest containing observation platforms on which to view the abundant wildlife offering limitless opportunities to take amazing photographs. The waters as well as the land are teaming with life. Crabs and crayfish scuttle in the shallows while turtles bask atop each other in the grass. There are even frogs the color of the sand that leap up if you surprise them. I can easily spend hours just strolling around and enjoying the moments surrounded by like-minded people. All worries seem to vanish here, and I’m left with only a calm feeling of being connected and

  • The Outer Banks of North Carolina

    As I walk towards the ocean with the sand warm beneath my feet, the waves lap at my ankles, seeming as if they want to pull me out to sea. The sun rises over the horizon, reflecting off the waves and shimmering like gold. The salt air smells tangy as it stings my nose with the smell I crave while I am away from the ocean. The Outer Banks in North Carolina has been my favorite place to go from my first memories. I look forward to going there every summer because there at the ocean I feel at home. It is a place where I can forget every stress in my life and be totally at peace. It is a place where my family can spend time together, not like at home where we all have activities and places to be. The Outer Banks is not a beach where the ocean is forgotten; there is no partying and no boardwalks, nothing but nature to fill your days there. The beach is not crowded to the point where it is hard to even walk to the beach ,and looking for shells is not even an option. This beach is a very peaceful and surreal place. The noises of people do not overwhelm you at this beach; all you can hear are the sea gulls and the waves.

    There we saw people ranging from six months to sixty years old splashing around in the water, sinking their toes in the ripples and laughing in the peak of the day’s heat. I saw the potential that this two-avenue-long pool had in becoming a person’s beach for a glimpse of time. Smith’s concept of one’s beach always being in immediate reach resulted in Michelle and I taking off our shoes, sitting on a bench and enjoying the 88°F weather with our toes immersed in 70°F water. During these ten minutes where I sat on the bench, conversed with my friend and watched people play and walk through the park, I had found a beach for
