THE BEACH

I enjoyed writing this paper. It was fun and it let me re-live my past experences of the beach. Some the challenges I faced was trying to perfectly describe certasin things at the beach so the reader could fell, see, smell ect. everyhting that I do when I get the chance to go. I have also learned new descriptive words for future use in papers.
My Favorite Place: The beach


For many people, there are many different favorite places or rooms. However, I am different from everyone else because I love a place for different reasons. I am the type of person to love a place for its beauty, adventure, or historical aspect. The beach at night is filled with an array of different scenery, animals, and sounds, making this my favorite place to be.
The scenery of the beach makes me get lost in the moment. Looking out past the waves at my feet I can barely see the white foam atop smaller waves in the background. As larger waves in front of me curl and the tide moves over my feet, white foam is left on my toes. Part of the scenery at the beach includes the moon. The only way to see the oceans beauty at night is by the moon shining on the water. It shines just enough to see the waves in the distance and to brighten up the beach. The moon also gives the sand a whitish color, as it pushes itself through my toes, warming them.
Animals come in many shapes, colors, and species. The beach is filled with many of these animals. Walking to the edge of the tide the sand moves with each step I take. Ghost crabs scurrying away from me making the beach even more unique at night. Also looking out slightly past my feet other types of crabs take a journey out of the sea onto the beach to their burrows, making sure to stay clear of the people standing at the edge. Although its dark, sometimes I am lucky enough to catch a glimpse of different fish jumping out of the sea to catch dinner. Sword fish seem to be the favorite fish to jump up for me to see. Or a fin shoots out of the water letting me know they are there. Also to add to animal collection, a series of different birds make up the beaches sounds and sights. In the distance I am always lucky to see a pair of pelicans making there way to the perfect spot to collect their dinner. Seagulls also hop around my feet never giving up the hope of me maybe having some food for them.
The great thing about the beach is it can be taken with you anywhere you go with its sounds. The sound of the crashing waves makes the beach worthwhile for me. The sound of the tide as it moves back and forth with the movement of the sea. The sand at the beach also quietly crunches under your feet as you walk to the water’s edge. The sounds also combine themselves with the smells of the salt water. It’s a kind of sweet-salty smell I love.
The combination between the scenery, animals, smells and sounds its everything needed to create my favorite place; the beach at night. Everyone has their own favorite place or room. Everyone loves their favorite place for different reasons, but my reason to love the beach is for its beauty. The beach makes me get lost in the moment of loving and respecting the sea, understanding its power and wanting to be there every minute of every day. The beach at night is my favorite place and I doubt that will ever change.
