I see and hear the seagulls swoop and call,
It's extremely windy, I wonder will they fall?
But they are just hungry, "the little pests,"
That always sleep, eat and very rarely do they rest.
I can taste the salty sea water mixed in the air,
And there is a dull fishy smell that I struggle to bare.
The salt sits on my tongue, it tastes really funny,
But I ignore it because the beach is so picturesque and sunny.
I feel grains of fine sand trickling through my toes and feet,
It is hot and I tiptoe through it to avoid the heat.
The cool water is a relief when I dip them in by the shore,
The seaweed and sand is squelchy and soggy on the sea floor.
I thoroughly enjoy going the beach, it's so much fun,
Admiring the amazing waves and just lying in the sun.
The day was totally amazing, I relaxed all day,
Every time I am there I love to run, sunbathe and play.
