Personal Narrative: The Boomerang Beach

Decent Essays
I am lucky enough to have family in Australia who takes me with them when they go on trips. I've been to the beaches in Forster Tuncurry and the ones at Port Stephens Boat Harbour. I must say that it is so beautiful here. And the people are so adventurous, at all the beaches I’ve been to. I think that someone was always surfing or body boarding. I think that the Boomerang Beach was pretty chaotic so that would be good for surfing while the One Mile Beach was calm so that would be good for body boarding. I’m not really one for outdoorsy things but I loved sandboarding at Port Stephens. That was so much fun. I wish I could’ve done it all day long. We also went to watch wild dolphins in the Tasman Sea.

But it is all too often a mirage”(Gay) the beach isn’t always a place for everyone, and the expectations of the beach often leave people let down or disappointed. As much as I do love the beach and enjoy laying in the sun I agree with Gay’s perspective of the beach to an extent.…

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.…
