Sands Hotel

The Quest to Find the Sand Dollar Screech, slam, ploof! The young twelve year old girl pulls her chair up to the ridge and drops her stuff in the soft, warm sand while the sun was shining bright and gleaming down on her. She was very excited because today her mother had taken her down to the turquoise ocean water from their rental beach house. Summer break had just started that week and the young girl was eager to relax and enjoy the beach. She loved shells and collecting them as far…

I can still hear the soothing sound of the waves crashing down as I woke up from my nap with sweat glueing my sun beaten face to the blanket upon a bed of sand. Digging holes with my dad or riding the surf my long days by the ocean exhausted my younger self. For as long as I can remember at the same time in July every year my family set to the road for a 6 hour journey to the coast. A tradition that has been a part of my family for years. When we finally arrived at the breathtaking shore, we…

History of Fun in The Sun at The Beach Beaches have always seemed to be a place to hang out in the sun on hot days. This hasn't always been this way. The beach has been thought of in many different ways throughout the past. Beaches have been around forever, but only about three centuries ago did people realize the fun and benefits of beach culture. Beaches have been thought of as bad places where no one wanted to be. The beach wasn’t considered a place for relaxation or entertainment. The…

percentage. This shows that from a basic point of view that both areas have similar grains. But when you look at both microscopically you can tell that when compared they’re not even close to being similar. While they are both the same size the dunes sand has endured more erosion due to their well sorted and fine sized size this can be due to the amount of time they have been transported and deposited due the waves. While the swash zone has and is currently enduring the waves as well what makes…

made out of sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles living at a beach are occasionally biological to the origins, such as mollusk shells or coralline algae. Beaches typically appear around areas along the coast where there is a wave or current activity (Wikipedia, Paragraph 1). While being at the beach, I love to hear the sound of the tides, get the feeling of a light breeze, have a smell of the ocean water, listen to the call of the seagulls, and feel the sand, beneath my…

Our five senses are vital to us. They enable us to experience and recognize the beautiful and complex world around us. They are the means by which we see the sunlight, listen to the bird song, taste the soft fruit, touch the beach sand and, smell the salty ocean air. Those are our senses, but are there truly just five senses? Or could there be a sixth sense as well? A sense that certain people possess that makes them able to predict events and situations before they occur? An example of such…

Summers at the Lake My family is not the type the goes on expensive or luxurious vacations to places like the Caribbean or Jamaica. We prefer pleasant and easy vacations together with all of our family members where we can have a fun time and spend quality time together. Vacations to the lake are like an escape from the outside world, a chance to see nature and enjoy the simplicity of life. We may be doing various activities such as fishing, barbequing, or competing in corn-hole competitions,…

Short Story I’ve always liked to walk on the beach. I like the feeling of the coarse sand between my toes as my feet sink into it with each slow step. I love the way the the ocean paws inquisitively at my passing footprints. The sea is truly beautiful. I’ve always admired it. I like to look out on the horizon and find the tiny waves throbbing on the line between sea and sky. Of course, in actuality the waves are probably huge, but from my standpoint here on the beach, even staring at…

Introduction Soil Texture The classification of soil texture is determined by the percentage of each of the soil separates. Soil separates are mineral particles smaller than 2mm, and these particles are sand, silt and clay. These textures are separated by the size of the particles, with sand being the largest between 2mm and 0.05mm, silt at between 0.05mm and 0.002mm, and clay at <0.002mm. The size of the particles influences the porosity and other characteristics of the soil. The soil…

It was a warm, sunny day when Matt and his sister, Lily, moved into their new house by the ocean. Matt and Lily placed their boxes in their new bedrooms and went out to explore the beach. They found several seashells and made a sandcastle together. When Matt looked out towards the water, he thought how much fun it would be to go scuba diving. Together, they rushed back to the house and got their scuba diving equipment. As Matt tried to put his bag on his back, he hit the bookshelf by accident,…
