Last weekend, I visited a seashore. The experience was truly refreshing as I liked to walk on the sandy beach.

The sky was blue and full of fluffy clouds. The sun shone brightly. Some seagulls were flying in the sky. I walked on the sand for a few minutes. The sand was warm and soft. Then I walked in shallow water. I collected a few seashells.

There were a few people on the shore. A group of children was building sand castles. Some hawkers were selling food and toys. Then I sat on a large rock.

I enjoyed the sight of endless ocean. There was rhythm in the sound of the waves. The breeze was cool. It was a magical and refreshing experience.
