hail to the beach

Pristine waters… white and fine appealing sand… tall and enthralling coconut trees… mesmerizing aquatic life.

Ah! Beach! Doesn’t that ring a bell? Doesn’t that make you want to pack up and head to the waters? For me it does. How I am captivated with the beguiling things that the beach could offer.

The thought of going to the beach always lightens me up because being there relaxes me. The sound of the wave, the sea breeze, the sensation of salt water in your skin and the pricking heat of the sun are all the things that makes me want to come to the beach. It takes away all the stress that my city life brings, all the uneventful things that had happened turns into a laughing stock all because of the effect of the sea.

When you’re in a beach, you get to wear the skimpiest suit you have and it is acceptable. Try wearing it to the mall, when you’re in the city, and you’ll get attention but not in a good way. When you’re in a beach, you get to free your feet from any forms of shoe wear because the white sand offers you a soothing sole sensation, like you’re given a foot scrub. When you’re in a beach, you get to improve your color, from pale to a healthy tan. When you’re in a beach, you get to appreciate the simplest thing ever, from the presence of a refrigerator, so that you’re foods won’t get spoiled, to the comfy nipa or open air hut that you’ll be staying at. Also, the beach offers you a glamorous back draft, how the virgin forest, sea water, sand and stones create drama to your photos.

So for those who are aquaphillic like me, let’s pack up. And worship the beauty that the beach could offer.

Hail to the beach!
