Personal Narrative: My First Trip To The Beach

Improved Essays
In 2004 my family and I made our first trip to the beach. The adventure seemed to take a lifetime to reach our destination. Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time. My brother and I would play video games and watch movies to past the time away and eat the snacks mom would pack us.

    When I was young in Mastic Beach, we spent Saturday mornings on the porch eating pancakes made by mom and naming all the birds that flew by. When I was young in Mastic Beach, the scent of paint lingered on dads clothes as he taught me how to make the images in my head appear on the canvas in front of me. The clay he brought home already sculpted into figures and applauded no matter how unrecognizable they actually were. When I was young in Mastic Beach, we made frequent trips to the beach at sunset and stayed well into the night, not caring about the mosquito bites that littered our bodies.…

    Because of those walk I know the exact location of every blackberry patch, apple tree, and seaglass beach in the entire town of Winter Harbor. What I remember bes about those walks, however, is very special place called Sand Cove. See Sand Cove in a sense is magical, because regardless of the temperature in the summertime you are guaranteed to get a cool southwest breeze in that spot every afternoon.

Now, as an adult I regularly run a route around Sand Cove, and thought I still love it, this place is not the…

    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.
