Sands Hotel

Generations of Reliability With his fishing rod in tow, an elderly gentleman waves goodbye to his wife and embarks in his Subaru. In another scene, a young man drives along the highway in the early morning with a surfboard attached to his roof. Their stories diverge when they both arrive at the beach to share their love of surfing and the dependability of their Subarus. The commercial for the new Subaru Crosstrek utilizes an effective combination of compare and contrast, pathos, and ethos…

Often times we talk to individuals about their favorite vacation spot or where the place they feel the most at rest is; the response we get most often is the ocean. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening. This is the case for our friend Lettie Hempstock’s…

The song I chose is “Surfin’ U.S.A.”, is characterized by the Beach Boys. I chose this song because of how laid back the tune sounds and makes me want to relax. It’s relaxing because the song reminds me of the beach and the sounds of the waves. In the song it talks about how they will be gone for the summer and to tell the teacher they have gone surfing. The summer always reminds me of the beach and all the surfers in the water. In the 1960’s California was known as the surfing state. The Beach…

other water fun, Carolina Beach State Park offers 761 acres of white sand beaches, dunes, and nature trails to explore. The vegetation in this area helps shield campers from the breezy ocean air. One of the only state parks where you can enjoy camping, walking the 6 mile trail alongside indigenous Venus fly traps and easily access your boat at the fully-equipped marina with gas station and two ramps. The miles and miles of sand dunes invite you to take in the natural beauty of Carolina Beach…

One RIKER OXFORD RAY felt the water rush in. Clear blue broke onto the beach, collecting sand over miles down the peninsula. He laughed. There was nothing to do in the night but watch the stars and ocean and laugh. So he stood on the edge of the pier, feeling the break of the water. His hair was dark, and it glistened in the lights. He was of average height, and gauntly featured. Another explosion of water spread before him, like a plain of crystal. He watched the violent swirls of the ocean…

We have just left and we are going to follow the south side of the Platte River. We have to cross the river in about 170 miles. We have heard from other settlers that it's too wide to bridge so we have to use the sandbars to get across. That has been a stressful thought, hopefully no one has any troubles. It's also very shallow which could cause problems because the current will be going at a high speed. After 6 days of travel we have finally met the river crossing. It's current was…

It was evident from the sand dunes on Main Beach, that the further you progressed inland, the vegetation became more dense and abundant. There was no plant species present up until the 40 m mark. This in theory was due to the fact that if vegetation were to occur at the beginning of the transect line, they would be impacted by the strong wave action, which contains high volumes of salinity in it, which then affects the nutrients in the sand making it inefficient for plant growth. The spinifex…

do not have a lot of litter which allows people to enjoy it more. I really enjoy the the waves and water on the beach. I like to be able to slowly walk the shoreline and hear the waves softly crashing against the sand. The beaches in Miami have extremely white sand which means that the sand is clean and people are taking care of the beach. I also really enjoy walking and collecting all of the unique shells that the waves have washed up onto the shore. If you take the time to really search you…

of graham cracker. Oh, yeah, baby, someone loves me! My feet swung over the edge of my bed and I realized I was wearing jean shorts and a soft white cotton t-shirt. That’s when my “something’s funky” radar went off. I slid off the bed, and felt sand beneath my feet. Salt hung in the air, and somehow I knew without a doubt I was on an island. I could hear someone playing an acoustic guitar and singing. As I got closer, I realized the song was Life’s Been Good to Me. Three guys sat…

attention to, when you’re at the beach on a regular day. Usually you we just look at the sand to see if there is any rocks or and we look at the water (and its colour). But this time while looking at both of these things I realized that when you pick the small gains of sand in your hand the sand is more of a white colour (mostly but not the only colour) then tan as well as it had different shades of colour of white. The sand grains were finer than gravel but rougher than slit, when we rub whole…
