A VISIT TO THE BEACH 2

Summer is already here; my friends and I decide to take a vacation to Miami Beach in

Florida. It is a perfect gateway for all the learning throughout the year. After lots of packing, all

five of us hop into my car, and off we go. Being on Saturday traffic is quite heavy, and the

journey seems to take forever. At around ten thirty in the morning, we make our way to the

beach; the weather is a mix of excitement and relaxation. Having made hotel reservations, my

friends and I get a room with an excellent view of the oceanfront of South Beach. The look is

eye-catching and quite exquisite. From the balcony, the ocean view gives a perfect picture of the

clear waters. I decide to explore my surrounding by taking a stroll around the beach to please my

eyes.

There are people from different ages having fun as families take the time to bond with

each other. College students are having fun at a pool party with the DJ playing loud music in the

background. From the way they are dancing I can tell that the music makes them feel alive and

happy. A pool party isn’t a place for me, and I decide to bask in the sun while enjoying cold

lemonade. From where I am, I can see kids running around in the sand with others trying to build

castles and find out who’s are the biggest and the best. In some other corner, some kids are

burying each other in the sand. The waves are quite high, an opportune time to go surfing that

most surfers are taking advantage of, surfing to their limits.

I am so lost in what I am doing that I forget it is time for lunch only to be tapped by one

of my friends to go and grab some food. The restaurant is well furnished, full of expensive

furniture with vivid colors and the atmosphere is very inviting. Different music plays every time,

but the music in the background is mostly salsa. The seafood offered has a different taste of its

own, and it is reason enough to explain why the restaurant is so packed. My experience in the

afternoon is different, and after a long time, I find myself joining a group of dancers who dance

to every music being played. Something even better, is that at some point members of the public

are chosen to participate in the dance, and those who dance better are awarded. Some of the

people even impersonate movie characters and artists just to enliven their performances.

Some of my friends and I decide to go to the beach in the Miami scene. I ran my hand

over the grainy yellow sand leaving a trail from my fingertips. I choose to go swimming in the

ocean, to test the temperature of the water, I dip my feet into the water which is shockingly cold

and in I go into the water. The sea is filled with people swimming while others play handball in

the water. It is after I swim for some time that I realize how beautiful the hotels look from where

I am. The buildings here have a fantastic design and are artistically unique. They all seem to

have been built in such a way that they provide clear scenery of the beach and the surrounding

landscape. Miami Beach is no resemblance to any place I have been. It is more than perfection,

beyond description.

After spending the whole afternoon at the beach, a bonfire is a perfect thing to start an

evening with some storytelling. The evening is getting better as we are joined by other people

who apparently show their friendly nature by playing us a guitar. If this is not good enough, a

fashion show is arranged to showcase the art and culture of different countries. The attires of

different nations and even their dance moves look spectacular. All this culture makes me realize I

am not as exposed as I imagine myself to be. I love every second of the performance; they are so

entertaining and funny at the same time. I even learn that my country is more prosperous in

culture than I know. After all this showcasing and appreciation of art and culture, the DJ plays

classical music and when I look around, I can see people dancing and laughing. Everyone is so

happy; there is so much love, so much hospitality and so much fun as compared to other places I

visit. It is quite an epic display of humanity.

I wander along the beach with my bare feet sinking into the grainy sand leaving imprint

marks. The beach is clear with blue waters. I am perplexed with the breeze from the sea which

creates a soothing, relaxing atmosphere. I wish to stay here forever where there are peace and

calm. I, however, have a whole summer to enjoy all this and this, I vow to do.
