Boardwalk Description

Improved Essays
I found myself standing at the entrance of the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, taking in the captivating scenery as it presents itself before me. Bright lights beam all around the vicinity, as they bounce off of every window and piece of glass. Crowds of excited people flood the scene, curious to see what was in store for the night.
Remarkable smells of the freshly made cuisine, drifts along the walkways. Strong rich smells of vinegar fill my nose, as the wave of Thrashers Fries finally hits me. Sweet sugary fragrances silently creep up my nose next, telling me that the second wave of smells was here. I could feel the strong energy building in this boardwalk, ready to burst with all its might. It was more than just a boardwalk. To my left, a welcoming

Waves tippy toe onto the sand, leaving only a faint roar. The waves came one after another, like the never ending warm sweet smells of caramelized popcorn, which gave comfort like a blanket of soft fur. The waves, afraid to show their full potential, wrap all the way down to the end of the other side of the boardwalk. The soft mushy sand fades into the distance, mimicking the sun’s natural schedule. The boardwalk once again reunites with the sand, as they shake hands, reintroducing themselves.
Pure cream colored benches watch the warm reunion as they too, fade into the distance. Tall black lamp posts follow the white seats, curious to see where they may be going. At last, the boardwalk decides to merge with the opposite side of the peacefully sitting stores.
At the corner to my right, sits another blood orange sign reading, “Candy Kitchen” that opens its arms to the young children that stand with their parents. The front entrance side of the store screams adventure, as the decor features a barrage of “ROY-G-BIV” from top to bottom. The boardwalk was alive, ready to seize the moment. It wasn’t just a boardwalk, it was my

    The Red Lobster is known for its incredible seafood but what you really notice is how nice it looks on the outside with its red walls and its black pointed roof, as well as the posts out front with rope tied in them, which gives you the feeling of standing on a dock. When you first walk into this fine establishment, you would see a giant metal crab on the hostess booth shining with its brilliant colors in the sunlight. The sunlight reflecting off the crab reminded me of a sunset off the coast of Maine. There is also an aquarium full of live lobsters that you can look at while you are waiting to be seated. The sight of the lobster tank reminded me of the time I went to Maine and went on a lobster trapping excursion.…

    He came upon them as he turned a crook in the coast line; and his first thought was that he had come upon a village, for there were many lights. But as he forged along he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building--a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows.’”…

    At the crack of dawn, I wake up, trying to be as quiet as possible, intensely rummage through the refrigerator. While the sun taunts me with a beautiful spectrum of crisp orange and bright pinks creeping over the horizon, I hurry to leave my grandmother’s beach house and head over to the serene beach. On my way toward the water, dogs are seen in the distance playing in the cool sand and sticking their paws in the salty water. In addition, from laying their eggs in the sand, are long sand trails from horseshoe crabs. Finally reaching the water, I sit down and observe the sun as it slowly creeps over the horizon until the many vibrant pinks and luminous orange rays turn into a solid golden beam of sunlight.…

    It is scattered with long, silver puddles. In the pink glow of the rising sun, the sand looks shiny and slippery.

    Boating into in the Wellfleet Cove in Cape Cod, the first thing I noticed was how the towering sand dunes on the peninsula protected the still, glassy waters within it from wind. The cove was a sanctuary from my anxious life I led at home. My anxiety causes me to have to look at the future as an overwhelming heap of events with a variety of possible outcomes. I remind myself everyday to take things one step at a time so as not to get ahead of myself in a moment. But in the cove, I need not worry about the future because time ceases to exist there.…

    The Shopping Experience Walking into a beach dock themed store with wooden like floors. Casually wandering into the girl’s side of the store hoping I don't blow my money on all the clothes I fall in love with. The big screens with videos of the beach making me wish it could be warm enough outside to go, which helps the store sell more clothes since its soon to be spring. On the left would be the dresses and tops hanging on clothes racks and on the other side would be the more casual shirts with the shorts and tank tops on the table a couple feet away. As I keep walking deeper into the store I start to smell the cologne or perfume scent that they have by the register.…

    During April of 2015, I stepped out of the car and onto the beach for the first time in Destin, Florida; the salty sea stung my nose as I breathed in a refreshing breath of briny air. The first step onto the sand was like a bed of blankets; soft and comfortable. The way the white sand glided onto my feet and squished between my toes felt like heaven. 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.…
