The smack of the waves
against the grainy shore
The squish of the sand
between my toes
The shouts of the children
running around non-stop
The splash of the water
around my legs
The shrieks of laughter
that escape from my lips
The tiny ripples of water
all around me
The splish-splash
of the many water fights
The woofs of the dogs
frolicking in the water
The plop of the people
flopping onto their towels
The wind whistling
Through the vast amounts of trees

The beach is truly the place to be
