In the morning we were all rushing to get to the beach in time. I remember it like it was yesterday. We went to the beach with some of my mom and dad’s friends. We brought a bunch of food and while we were parked our car got stuck. My dad and Francisco pushed it to try to get it out. After we finished pushing the car out of the sand, we started taking out the food. We packed Pastelitos, Sandwiches, Brownies, Cookies and much more. We set up our spot on the beach and I got right into eating. I ate a few pastelitos, and brownies, then just laid in the chair to get a tan. After that my sisters and I started burying each other I started burying each other in the sand. We also looked for shells and tried to see fish and hermit crabs. I remember feeling the hot sun and just laying in the sand just staring out into the sky and ocean. It felt so peaceful and nobody was too loud. I stayed there wondering about everything. I wondered about how far the beach went out to and about the animals in it as well. I thought about how it would be like to live in the ocean. I had so many questions that would just stay floating in my head …show more content…
It smelled of salt. I felt the cool breeze on my face as the waves came crashing down. At one point I decided to go back to get some more food. I started walking back to the beach and felt the little stones under my feet. As I looked in the water I was hoping to find hermit crabs but to my disappointment, it was just pebbles on top of pebbles. I went up and out of the water looking for the hotdogs and hamburgers we had packed. I then see seagulls eyeing my food. I decide it would be fun to play with them so I start throwing food until I see a bunch of seagulls just there looking for food. So I grabbed a hotdog and threw it as far as I could so they would leave. I was soaking wet so started rolling around in the sun but then saw it wasn’t making anything better. So I headed back into the water to wash
3 days before the cruise. Today was the day we drove halfway to Texas I was excited so we packed our thing said bye to is dogs, dove away well I thought that's was all but sadly that's not the truth. Halfway through we reached this forest that was like 3 hours long and rained every single second of
The next day we had pancakes that the hotel gives for breakfast. That was the best food I have had since the vacation has started. My family and I went to the beach right after that. The water was still cold, so I had to play with the sand. Instead of building a sand castle, I built a set of tunnel and stuff underground. Then, my little brother came and jumped on the tunnels and all of it fell down.
I lay in bed thinking. It was weird my life had changed so much in one
With every step I took I could smell the fresh air with a slight odor of the salty water. I close my eyes to absorb the gust of the early morning wind slapping me across the face. My hair stood up, dancing from side to side as if it was doing the Tango. I felt the crisp white grainy sand going beneath the spaces of my toes almost feeling exactly like sugar. The subtle waves played the music of nature while crashing onto the shore, hitting my ankles every time with tides that varied in size.
For the rest of the day, I went snorkeling. Snorkeling was truly wonderful. I walked to a pier on the eastern end of the bay to get to the kelp beds. I put on my gear and headed into the crystal clear water.
I smiled at the thought of us lying on that plastic raft, soaking in the sun as our skin dried. We would then try to get our dad to blow up an inflatable boat so we could get back because we didn’t want to get back in the freezing water. We
I turned off the car and took a deep breath. Looking slowly up into the pink sky, I began to watch the golden sun go to sleep. The beach seemed deserted, quiet, but peaceful. I opened my door and put my feet out on the soft sand. I started taking my shoes off, then my socks. I threw them in the passenger seat, and then shut the door. I looked out over horizon of the lake and started walking towards the still water. With each step I took, I could feel the warm sand crunch between my toes. Then suddenly, a sharp rock, but not sharp enough to break the skin.
The dull light of the sun somehow manages to kindle my senses in a way I had never seen or felt before. Everything felt like it came to a standstill and the effect of the light made the scene look like one in a painting. The waves break gently into white foam on the black beach. The small crystals in the sand glimmer and twinkle brilliantly against the sunrays. The seagulls ride with the wind and the soft sand cushions my toes.
All I could feel was rugged sand all over my body and in my mouth. Land, we had washed ashore! Then I remembered fully what had happened last night. I began to look for Tom. "Tom, Tom, Where are you!!" There was no sign of him anywhere. Then I saw the footprints in the sand.
The first thing I would do is change into my bathing suit and run out to the beach. My sister and I would spend the day splashing in the salty water, until we were too tired to keep our heads above the water. Then we would lie on the soft damp sand and take a nap. It felt so good to have the bright sun blazing down on me. My favorite thing to do was build gigantic sand castles on the beach. My sister and I would have contests to see who could build the tallest sand castle. The grains of sand glistened in the sun like a diamond ring.
Somewhere else. I was on the white sand of the beach, and the blue, blue ocean sparkled with flecks of gold. I gazed out, watching my sister weave in and out of the waves, like a little fish.
We sought shelter in one of those goofy, bright orange family dryers and played heads up on an ipod. Then Emily’s mom called one of us and asked if we wanted to go get something to eat, so we ran all the way to the parking lot to avoid getting wet as much as we
As I walked down the worn dirt path to the ocean, I was astonished by how many people were lounging by the water.. As I got closer to the water’s edge, I contemplated why more people don 't swim and decide to tan in the sun instead. The feeling of being alone with the ocean and my thoughts played in my mind.
I can still remember the first time that I saw the ocean. I was a child, no more than 6 years old. It still stands out in my mind as one of the best memories I have from my childhood. I remember being able to taste the salt in the air on my lips as I took a deep breath. The water was such a deep shade of blue that reminded me of a Crayola crayon color. It got lighter and lighter as the water came closer to the shore until it ended as a light turquoise color. The color of the water when it actually met the sand was something that I can’t even describe. I would say that the closest thing you could describe it to would be translucent sea foam green. I remember how the waves curled up at their peak and then crashed down into the sand. The noise that the waves made as they crashed into the surrounding water can only be likened to the deep booming of a bass drum. The temperature of the water as it swirled around my ankles was not too cold and not too hot. The water was so clean and clear that you could see the ocean floor beneath your feet. Once in a while a huge chunk of seaweed would get wrapped around my toes and it reminded me much of a legendary sea monster swallowing its victim. The sun bounced off of the water’s surface, glimmering like a shiny crystal. Perhaps ...
But we did go on the boardwalk almost every night. Every night seemed to be different. We tried to experience everything in a different way. Coastal Highway, not unlike the ocean, seems to go on endlessly. When we were near Coastal Highway, I put my window down and let the smell of the sand and sea waft into the car. The rain had started, but it was only a light mist. The temperature had cooled off now too. I decided to take an evening swim. Some of the waves were raising nearly 10 feet. In the evening when we all entered the beach some lifeguards were announcing that tides are so strong. Though I was not
