On a chilly day in late June, my relatives (+) were excited to take me to the beach since I was visiting for a week. Once we finally parked and unloaded the car we started walking towards (>) the beach to find a spot when all the sudden my cousin Cc (Ω) screams she lost her phone (L). My uncle Carlos (}) yelled back we would look for it when we were leaving and told her she needed a break from it anyway. Once we put our bags (@) and towels ([0]) down we got out our books (ш) but reading was the last thing on my mind. I sat (2) down feeling grains (ʺ) of sand sticking to my skin, but I didn’t care because the sand felt so soft. For a while I just lay there running (5) my hands through the sand until my aunt Sky ({) asked if I wanted to walk by the beach. The first couple of minutes were me picking up rocks (O) and sea shells (() and my aunt ({) telling me I had a good eye (%) each time. I listened to the waves (~) as we walked in silence (/) until she said that she was happy ()) that I came down to visit her since it had been a couple of years since I saw them and I said thank you for inviting me. We walked until we reached a tunnel (π) and decided to turn around. When we reached the area where we put our things I grabbed a pair of binoculars (=). When I looked through them at first, I didn’t see anything and then I saw golden brown things and realized it was sea lions sun (*) bathing on an island (Ж). Once I looked at them, I put the binoculars back and walked towards (>) the ocean by myself (j). As I walked towards (>) the water I began to wonder (?) when would be the next time I would be able to visit the ocean so I put my feet in the water since it was too cold to swim (&) in. After I lost feeling in both my feet I decided to head back (< >) these as directions I was going because they point at opposite direction and I used (π) as a tunnel because it looks like one. For the numbers I used (2) for the word sat because it looks like someone sitting on their knees and I used (5) for running because if you use your imagination it looks like a person running. For the letters I used (L) to be a phone because it looks like an open flip phone and for the letter (O) I used it to mean rocks because many of the rocks
There is a towing company in central florida that does something similar on the beach boardwalks, they put the signs up facing AWAY from the lot so you can't see them until you actually get out of your car and go to the beach, and they will have an employee in plain clothes and a binocolar calling the towing truck so by the time you go to move your car, it's already loaded up and there's "nothing they can do" so you have to pay hundreds of dollars to get your car back. It's basically extortion, its terrible.
I can feel the sand between my toes, it is warm, gritty, and small in size as a move my toes around in the sand. The calming sound of the waves colliding with the compacted, wet sand on the beach. The sound of the water rolling back out to sea to be thrown back at the beach again. It was like a dream, the hot sun beaming down upon my dark skin rejuvenating me, my long blonde hair flailing around in the warm breeze. I feel relaxed as I take in my surroundings and my muscles loosen their tension. I lay down on the warm sand, close enough that the white foam from the waves touches the tips of my toes. I can see the clear blue sky without a cloud in sight.
It’s midday in June and the sun is at its peak, bathing the entire Yucatan peninsula in its warm yellow glow. The waves lap the shore of the resorts rhythmically, and the squawking tourists flock to the sandy beaches, hoping to eat up every last bit of the glorious sunlight. I pull out my phone and look on Google Maps; Michael and I make up a tiny pinpoint on the 26-mile coast, slowly working its way up towards the tip of the island, Zona Hotelera. We’ve been walking for almost 20 minutes, passing resort after resort and countless numbers of tourists, motivated by no more than boredom and possibly a hint of curiosity. I’m not quite sure what we’re looking for on the beach, hell, I’m not even sure why I’m in Cancun in the first place! What exactly was I looking for by coming here? Perhaps the fiasco that I called my senior year combined with my desperation to leave it all behind led me to embark on this international trip. I scan the open horizon and search as if I could find answers there. Yet I’m met with nothing more than a blinding reflection of the sun off the water. It’s hard to look away, with the mesmerizing rays of sunlight dancing off the tranquil ocean waves. It was hard to look away on that other day too.

Lost for a moment, you wonder where you are. The bark of the aimlessly wondering dog brings you back to reality causing your surroundings become clearer. Underneath the ocean floor, small rocks sparkle like tiny gems. Each of them bring a beauty of their own, making you feel part of the ocean. The first whiff is particularly salty that soon dims into an intoxicatingly sweet smell. By inhaling the fresh air into your lungs, you somehow manage to reach paradise. Exploring underwater, the wonders of the ocean are screaming for your attention. The blue and red corals are so uniquely shaped that you cant help but wonder how under-appreciated the ocean is. Everything is perfect, and your mind is open. Thoughts are floating into the stillness of the ocean and the air as time passes by. When sunset reaches, you unwillingly leave the ocean and return to the boardwalk to your family. Look back one last time, the silent beach and the lifeless sand seem washed up from all of the movement of the day. Even the ocean seems desperate for company, but until tomorrow the beach will settle into a colorless
It was a sunny morning as usual,hot waves flew through my window, a drip of sweat went down my forehead, it had felt like summer break was an eternity even though it had only begun last week. I was laying in bed in my shorts unexcited for the day as always, looking at my ceiling, I yawned and decided it was time to get up and take a shower, as I rise from my bed I hear my mom cooking breakfast, I could smell the juicy bacon popping in the pan as it was cooking while music was thundering through the background. It had made me wanna take a shower as fast as I could, I started to stroll by the hallway grabbing a clean towel and went straight to the sparkling bathroom, I slowly walked in, closed my door with a gentle shove, turned the shower on hot, not too hot that makes your face feel like it's melting, but to the type
it was one of those lonely night, where i stay by the boulders with my legs curled into my chest, looking out the ocean like it was my favourite television channel. in fact, it wasn’t my cup of tea. i hated the water, caressing the soft sand below, flowing out its problem onto the ocean.
As I lay back and reminiscence about a significant lonesome vacation to Myrtle Beach. I think about it as a peaceful place. It was in the middle of August where the temperature wasn’t too hot nor too cold, it was just right. I remember sitting back in the middle of the shore, listening to the waves crashing into the shore and the screeching of herring gulls. As I looked up at the beautiful blue sky that blended with the ocean, I visualized creative and fancy pictures in the clouds. I think about how the sand looked so fine and golden with tiny seashells and the creatures buried under the sand. I was delighted by the hot grainy sand in between my toes. As I’m lying on the shore, close to the ocean, a big tide came and I could feel the water go through me. The tide was so high that I felt my bathing suit rubbing against me. There was a little girl beside me grabbing onto my wrist, dragging me down to the water’s edge. As I went down the salt from the ocean went into my mouth. The taste of the salt had a very unpleasant bitter taste. I cleaned myself up and put on some comfortable clothes to eat lunch. I had a buffalo veggie wrap with cheese, bacon, and ranch dressing on the side, a huge chocolate chip cookie and a cold soft drink. As I bite into my sandwich, I could still taste the salt on my lips from the water. I heard the beautiful palm trees sway as the nice cool breeze went by. The sunset began to set on the horizon. The
My relaxed grin suddenly turned stone cold, with a look of realization and horror starting to form on my face. I just stood there turning my head in every direction, craning my neck to see over the tall tents of other beach goers. They were gone.
The ten story building catches my eye, I know we are finally there after the twelve hour car drive we just took. The sun peeks over the roof, like a little boy peeking over the counter in a candy store. I see the dark blue ocean behind the building we will be staying in for the next week. As we unpack our luggage from our white Traverse, there are many conversations of what fun we will be doing this week. I am beaming from ear to ear to be in Florida with my family.
Water right by the edge of the shore. Waves crashing at my feet. Beautiful weather with a big shining sun. And I’m standing there taking it all in. But it all vanishes and then all the noise comes back, as my cousin, Josie calls over.
As we crossed what seemed to be a never ending bridge, I glanced out the car window to see the cresting waves of the Atlantic. As we came closer to the ship, I noticed how massive it was. It is a wonder that a ship that weighed over 100,000 tons could float, when sometimes I struggle to stay at the surface of the water. We pulled into the parking garage where our car would be kept until the cruise ended. Carrying two bags in each hand, I followed my dad down to the security station where we would check in our bags. I opened the door and the line seemed a mile long, thankfully we got through in no time. When we got to the front we were helped by a kind old man, who
The summer of 2002, My best friend pulled up honking, in her tiny green Geo Metro, with her loud speakers blaring Hot in Herre (song by Nelly). I jumped in with all my bags, and headed 154 miles away to Pismo Beach. We turned right onto court street where the only thing visible was this massive hill, driving all the way up the hill till we reached the beach house. This is my significant place because it was where I learned to love music and appre-ciate all genres. It’s where I found my passion for baking like a pro, most importantly where I learned great parenting. This would-be home for the next 2 years.
Labor day weekend at the beach, families and all of their belongings gather here for the long weekend. It is 1:32pm on Saturday, it is not cloudy but clouds are present. The sun is warm and intensely strong, but there is a pleasant breeze keeping the sun from growing too unbearably hot. The waves are at most 3 feet tall and the ocean water is generally flat. The sand is littered with beach debris such as brown dried seaweed and various forms of trash. No large pieces of trash are apparent though. There are about 4 sets of tire tracks in the sand from lifeguards or beach patrol passing by. There are various forms of shorebirds circling above the ocean. The smell of salt water and sunscreen fill the air.
The warm breeze of the ocean air flies past my face. The heat of the yellow sun was sizzling, beating down against my skin, tanning and burning it within seconds. Beach goers were crowded around in all directions. Seagulls gliding past the groups of people, scouting for dropped or forgotten food to eat. Their little footprints marking a trail in the sand all over the place, going in a million different directions, searching for their next meal. I take in the exquisiteness of it all, the blue-green waves crashing into the sandy shore, making white foam and bubbles wash into the sea, little boys and girls that are digging in the bright white sand running away from the small waves before they get wet. The beach is a stunning place to be; there's just something about the ocean waves and the sand between my toes that makes me just want to stay there forever.
