Blinding golden rays make it the perfect weather for a beach outing. Kids running left and right, sand flying up in a blur like a slow motion action film. Families lounging under gigantic beach umbrellas, couples enjoying each other’s company, girls sunbaking and eyeing topless lifesavers whilst boys stand around trying to look casually cool in their boardies. Can’t forget the sagging scarring sights whom should be banned from walking around in speedos.
And below the hum of conversation, shrieks of laughter, and the squall of seagulls, the ever constant gentle crash of the ocean waves, hugging the shore. The first entry always a shock, teeth chattering cold. But as the time passes, the water warms and become a simple pleasure to be in. Playing in the water and having fun despite being bridal style carried and dunked half a dozen times.
As the sun ducks behind a cloud and the water cools, we retreat to the beach to sunbake dry. Lazing with not a care in the world, the time passes quickly, a sad reality. And after a lunch of fish and salt and pepper chips, it’s time to go home.
A lot of fun and a day well spent.
