Beach Creative Writing

Looking through your ray ban sunglasses you notice that the breezy beach is endless. Your standing on a wooden plat form engraved below your feet a carved name that writes “John and Erin forever”. Miles and miles of grain sandy beach stretching across as far as your eyes can see. As, you take off your blue sandals; you line them up with the other multicolor sandals. Making sure not to mess up other shoes you tip toe down the old wooden stairs careful not to step on a rusty old nail. Before your first foot in the sand, you stop to hear small children running past you squealing with excitement, their faces full of joy and their parent’s closely following behind yelling over the gusty wind to slow down and wait for them.

You decide that the spot that you picked will be perfect so you sit down next to a family that has one 6-month old baby girl. It is evening half past five and the sun is drooping. You notice small holes forming in the white sand. As you stare at the holes, a small sandy crab peeps out the hole only to cover up as rapid as it came out, danger was larking. You pop open a bag of crisp potato chips. You take your first bite and look to the left to grab a drink from the blue cooler, you go to to take your second bite and drop a potato chip on the sand. Instantly, you toss the chip in front of you not knowing that this would make you quick sea gull friends. The sea gulls chirp letting others knows of your unfortunate mistake. They fly overhead asking to be feed. You take your hand and scare them away. The baby starts to cry, frightened by the sea gulls lurking around. The family on your right decided to leave, irritated by the sea gulls presence. Gazing into the ocean you notice a few sea gulls diving into the fresh salt water searching for an unlucky fish dinner. At the same time a Jet Ski races by the fishing bird only to scare the fish away leaving the sea gull without dinner. You decide to lie down in the warm sand, taking in the view of the multiple changing colors. First pale orange, then light pink to indefinitely pitch dark, the sunglasses are no longer needed thus; you raise them up with your left hand into your blonde sandy

    In the short “Piper”, a baby bird begins to learn to find food itself. Its mother teaches the baby bird by demonstrating and pecking at the sand to retrieve a small clam. However, the mother’s beak is significantly longer than the baby bird’s, so when the baby bird attempts to peck at the sand it struggles and becomes unaware of the approaching tide. The tide slams into the baby bird and traumatizes it: the baby bird now refuses to get anywhere near the tide. The baby bird starts to observe a family of hermit crabs dig into the sand and duck while the tide crashes over them.…

Then she finds a jetty, made up of large black rocks, with a true potential.…

The waves were singing a delicate lullaby, pulling me closer to them. As I walk towards the ocean with the warm sand beneath my feet, the cold waves lap at my ankles, as if they want to take me away.…
