A Perfect Summer’s Day
Although winter is my favorite season summer is quite enjoyable as well. Like many other people who live in Australia, probably a large majority of the population, my idea of a perfect summer’s day is spent at the beach with the sun’s rays scorching the sand and warming the water. One of my favorite beaches is Torquey, about twenty-two kilometers south of Geelong, great beach, huge surf and is manned by life-guards. Once we get to the beach I usually just go around for swim, go body boarding, explore rock pools in search for aquatic life or just relax and chill on the sand, yep I’m as busy as a bee when I am at the beach. What I especially like about the beach are the many aspects of it which you can enjoy. For example, a particularly enjoyable audio perspective of the beach is the hypnotic yet relaxing roar of the waves. If you never heard that sound before it kind of goes like this; Whoosh, Whooosh, Whoooosh, Whooooosh, Whooosh, Whooosh, Whoosh, Whooosh, Whooosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Who – well you get the idea. Visually, the beach is a like a brilliant piece of art; vibrant and alive. Another great aspect, this time from a more physical sense, is the cool yet salty ocean lapping at you feet as you wade into the surf. Finally, the sweet aroma of the salt completes the whole beach scene. These various aspects, by themselves are wonderful but when combined together it’s like paradise.
Every time I go to the beach I always bring three things with me. The first item is a pair of sunnies because without them, when you look up into the sky and see the sun happily smiling down at you it’s not exactly the healthiest thing ever. The second thing is also health related; sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. Lastly and most importantly, I always bring my faithful water distiller with me because you know; free salt. That’s the reason why I go to the beach at all; the luxuries are just a bonus.
