Personal Narrative: My Beach In Capitola, California
It was nearly sunset and I was relaxing along the soothing beach in Capitola, California. My brother and sister were assembling sand and shells to make a colossal sand city while my parents were in two chairs chatting. As I was ambling down the oceanfront my feet would feel the chilly waves and I could sense the gentle wind blowing my way. I was reminiscing about the exciting activities previously that day, including swimming through the waves, body surfing, and passing around a volleyball with my brother. Earlier that day, my family and I took a serene walk down the pier. We saw fishermen catching fish and people getting ready to go fishing in a boat. When we got back to our petite cabin, we prepared to go frolic at the beach. At the beach, my brother and I went swimming. The massive waves were uncommon at Capitola, so we were cheerful we got to swim in the immense waves. After a terrific ten to fifteen minutes of …show more content…
Back by our little beach camp, my siblings and I built a sand village. I traced out in massive words, Sand City. My brother and sister created sand castles inside the small sand village. I was very delighted with my work and decided to go back into the ocean. All was well until I somehow wiped out again. I found it hilarious, but still got out of the water. My brother and I chose to play volleyball at the nets. Passing around was very enjoyable, but when we returned to the rest of our family, we got ready to return to the cabin. Walking back to the cabin, I recalled all of the pleasurable moments that occurred that day. On the peaceful walk back, we got ice cream, which I was very pleased with. That was a perfect day of fun, good laughs, and of course, the tranquil scene of the beautiful beach. I was delighted when I got back to the cabin and couldn’t wait for what the next day had to

    We were on our way to Canobie Lake Park. It had been a long two hours, but my dad was playing comedian albums from his phone, so we were preoccupied. “Are we almost there?” my brother asked. “No, were not stop asking.” Little brothers can be so annoying with their questions. We were almost there just five minutes to go. The view was so gorgeous. The lake was glistening from the sun. I had been to focused on the view and before I knew it we were at the…

    When I first stepped foot on the beach, I seen a massive red and white beach ball; spelling out Pensacola Beach. A flock of seagulls soared to shore to search for food. People at the beach were blasting music out of cooler, and dancing. I positioned my rear-end in my lounge chair, while drinking a Virgin…

    It was a simple beginning to a beautiful day in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The dry morning air brought a wealth of warmth to my tired skin. "Today is a day of opportunity," I thought. I would hopefully be entering the work force after a long battle with unemployment. I was excited because my days were filled with nothing but boredom and my mind was occupied with nothing but despair. Hopefully, today would be the day that I left my past behind me.…

    Have you ever wanted to take a long walk on the beach alone? Well, I have when I was four years old. I stayed in a white motel called, "The Atlantis" off the shore of old Orchard Beach, Maine. This is what happened. Being a normal four-year-olds, I took a nap on the red floral printed comforter. When my parents finally had decided to take a nap, I had just woken up. So, I didn't want to just fall back asleep, I decided to leave. I jumped out of bed and unlocked the door as quietly as possible, but it still had squea want to just fall back asleep, I decided to leave.

    A beautiful summer day in San Diego. Sun shinning, clear skies. I was cruising down San Diego Bay with my siblings, cousins, aunt, and dad. I was so excited to see my aunt, uncle and cousins, considering I haven't seen them in years. I regretted having so much fun remembering my mother was home sick with the flu, but I pushed the thought away and continued to play on the top of the boat with my cousin. I was talking with my sister, Savannah, and cousin, Brekyn, when the boat slowed to a stop.…

    As I look out to sea I hear and see the waves crashing down so eager to get to the shore line and I think how can something so beautiful be so deadly at the same time? I am completely unaware of my surroundings as I am lost deep in thought. I hear nothing. Then I am taken aback by the sound of a child’s pure laughter a sound that you would only expect to hear from a child but wait! It’s not a sound of one child laughter it’s a sound of a whole family completely care free and undaunted by the problem they have, for now the biggest problem they have is who’s sand castle is the best. All they want to do is enjoy these memories in the making and have fun. If you are not careful you might let go of you worries and fear and become a child again.…

    She told me she was about to set her things down, but was going to head back to her house to pack some breakfast that she had forgotten to bring. I knew I was okay with that. For me, a morning on a fairly remote beach sent waves of serenity and belonging over my body as I looked out to the blue-green ocean. I craved the sun on my face, and I set my chair at the edge of the water and pulled out a book to read. I watched out of the corner of my eye as the handsome lifeguards ran from stand to stand to get in shape for the rest of the summer. It just felt so easy to live and breathe there, and I turned my head back towards the water as they ran past so they couldn’t see me looking. In a split second, I heard heavier footsteps behind me, and I saw him running behind me. He was taller and extremely…

    When we were in Florida we decided to go to Panama City, Beach. On the way there we drove past the snow like sand. When we got there the cotton ball like clouds in the bright and sunny sky, the aquamarine sea and the golden brown sand is all I saw when I walked onto the beach of Panama City. It was so beautiful. Maria, my sister Deanna, my brother Michael, my mom, and I went to set our stuff up on the beach. We took our shoes off and let the burning hot sand warm our feet. We buried Michael up to his head in the golden brown sand. Many people were swimming and surfing, we went swimming for a bit. The water was freezing cold like icicles, but felt really good at the same time. The bottom of the ocean you could feel sand crabs, and all of the shells both broken and not broken. We were having so much fun, but then it started to rain cats and dogs. So we got out of the water and grabbed our…

    The Beach

    Just imagine a soothing, peaceful, majestic strip of sand and pebbles where land meets the sea and sea meets land. This amazingly gorgeous, serene piece of earth, commonly known as the beach, is my happy place. I stumbled upon this fortunate stroke of serendipity in my early childhood and it appalls me that at some point in history this astonishing creation didn’t exist. Since I’m rambling and your reading I guess I can tell you about my first visit to the beach. Although I was a child I can vividly remember this vacation, being that it was my first trip to my happy place. This life changing vacation started with a long, boring, and tiresome drive from Jackson, MS to Myrtle Beach, SC. From listening to the terrible music my dad played, the annoying screech of my mother’s complaining, and the irritating click click click of sister’s phone my head was about to explode. Finally we are here! As I got out of the car I couldn’t help but marvel at picturesque shore lined with blue velvet waves tranquilly flowing onto the sandy coastline. “Ouch” I quickly yelped, maybe I shouldn’t have gotten out the car on the blazing hot cracked pavement without shoes on. Besides this minor onset of pain I was already having the time of life. I joyfully sprinted from the car feeling the warm minute grains of sand between my toes as I met the coastline. The sea gulls roared above my head as sweet sweet smell of barbeque consumed the air. All of a sudden the semi-enticing smell of salt water and seaweed quickly filled my nose as I submerged myself in water. Roaring in my ear were the vibrations of the water from swimmers nearby and fish fleeing my general area. I tossed dunked swam and jumped until my limbs grew weary and it was time to depart from my happy place. I felt that for once in my life I was truly at peace with myself and I have found true happiness in my heart. Surprisingly this was only a day at the…

    Night fell down completely. This meant I missed the beautiful scene of the setting sun on the beach. The surface of ocean was calm except there were some waves running up and splashing against the shore. The cool wind coverd my body when I walked on a bridge where my cousins were fishing. No one stirred. No one spoke. My cousins thoroughly concentrated and stared at the shade underneath the bridge where our fishing robs were dropped. They still did not recognize me till I made some noise by opening a cooler to see their result. The cooler was entirely empty. It was not surprise to me because I definitely knew how well they could fish. Leaving them behind, I went down out of that place and came to the beach. Suddenly, far from the beach, I heard someone yelled, "Help, help me!" I looked around to…

    My family took a vacation the summer before sixth grade. We were in Maui, Hawaii to be exact, it was paradise. We walked to the beach from my family’s cabin everyday. As I looked around, the white sand felt scalding and the water was warm. The shore was filled with coral rocks, crashing waves and laughing children playing with the warm, wet sand. The water rose and fell, each time dissolving a sand castle into mud and making a child scream and run playfully from the water.…

    Upon our arrival, we looked for good spots at the beach, because it would be very crowded on weekends or holidays. We selected a cool place under the trees, and extended a mat on the white sand. The wind that blew through the trees softly made the weather cool and pleasant. Peace came into my heart when I looked at the very beautiful long white sand. People were playing all sort of games on the beach; for instance they played volleyball. Some of them swam in the shallow sea. There were some kids that were trying to build a sand castle. Everybody looked happy at that…

We went to go eat at In-Nd-Out, the food was so bomb. Our day at the beach came to an end. I was sad that the day was over because I had so much fun.

    When we arrived, I saw the beach was full of people doing variety of activities. Some of them were swimming under the sun, canoeing, boat riding and some of the people were taking selfies. My mother enjoyed herself by looking at the lovely scenery of the beach. While me and my mother were taking our things out of the car, my younger sisters ran as fast as lighting to the beach and started to build their own sandcastle as their first activity there. I took out my DSLR camera and started to take some pictures with my mother to keep it as a precious memory of our family. As we were tickled pink enjoying our own activity, suddenly the black sky overcast with heavy rain clouds. The trees along the beach dance frantically in the wind. The rain started like cats and dogs. We packed our things quickly and jumped into the car as a big storm might happen anytime. We took a look at the sea waves and it was surprising that it became wild in a blink of an eye.…
