I believe that the best vacation destination is the beach. To start, beaches are relaxing, I can’t remember a time that I have gone to a beach and not felt calm. Everything from the soft sand to the calming sound of the water can just make you feel at ease. Next, there is the view–there is nothing like looking out on an ocean. The water seems like it goes forever, it makes you realize how big and beautiful this earth is. When you have a vacation at the beach, there is so much to explore. In the sand, you can do things like collect seashells, go for long walks, or even build sandcastles. You can even lay down a chair or towel to lay out in the sun. In the water you go swimming, surfing, fishing, or even just walking close to the water for a quick cool-off. You can even do things like go on boat rides or go parasailing. Beaches are filled with creatures; they are everywhere. They are in the water, sky, and even the sand. I love to see the dolphins jumping out of the water, the sharks swimming around, the crabs crawling through the sand at night and the seagulls flying around in the air. One of my favorite things about the beach is that it can be fun no matter what time of the day it is. In the morning you can watch the sunrise on the horizon and go for a walk. In the middle of the day you can swim, tan, surf, fish and so much more. At night you can watch the sunset and look at the stars but you can also go night crab hunting. As you can see, beaches are fun, calming, and beautiful places for a vacation. That’s why I believe that going to the beach is the best vacation destination.
