Utah Beach

When I had first heard about Dunes through youth group at Good Shepherd, I thought it would be a fun three day trip to the beach with a bunch of my good friends. Little did I know, I would learn many new things that really inspired me and persuaded me to grow in ways I never thought I was capable of. Not only were these three days at the beach a very fun time with my friends, it was somewhat very emotional as well. I learned so many new things about my peers and watched their relationship with…

shore of a beach you would expect a lot of sand, on this beach there is a lot of rocks and small pebbles which does make it tough to walk on as I feel my shoes fill slowly with the coarse mix of sand and rock. Looking around there are many people with dogs, most off leashes. I can hear them barking at each other and doing their business on the beach with their owners just burying it in the sand. The strong odor of the seaweed is very heavy in the breeze, and it is strung all over the beach.…

This is a cause of coastal erosion because of the breaking point and the beach presence. Breaking point is when the waves break at foot of cliffs which causes a higher rate of erosion and beach presence is when sandy beaches absorb less wave energy through friction which also gives a higher rate of erosion.

I love going to the beach, something about it always draws me in like a siren’s song to a lonely fisherman that’s looking for enchanting love. I breath in the familIar smell of the salty air, and bathe in the beaming sun that’s glittering upon my tanned skin. “Gee, what a beautiful morning for sea shell hunting!” I exclaim to myself jubilantly. I usually get up very early so that I can have the beach all to myself. It’s like my personal sanctuary and a beautiful place that I can call my own…

panhandle of Florida in an area known as The Forgotten Coast called Mexico Beach. I have gone there every summer, staying for at least a week, since I was four years old. It is a place of tradition for my family because my mother vacationed there for the first time when she was four years old, too. I have come to love this place, not because it’s some epic fantasy vacation, but more because of what it represents to me. Mexico Beach is a place where each summer, for more than half of my life, I…

advantageous species in the ocean that I could find and made a bio for each one. I loved to watch national geographic and sharkweek -of course-, but most of all I loved the entirety of the ocean. Now to my story… Over the summertime I visited the beach a few times, but the weekend after it ended I had a longing for the ocean. However, I wanted this visit to be different and I felt as though I needed a change of pace. I’ve swam in the ocean and been boating upon it, but i’d never had the…

One bright, hot sunny day, my mom and I went on a walk to the beach. That’s one of our favorite thing to do on the weekend. The hot sand on my bare feet, the bright rays of the sun beaming on my back, the waves of the clear blue ocean crashing against the rocks. We walked by a shop that read, “ Help Wanted. “ I thought to myself how exactly jobs work. Do you have to go to college for all jobs? How long do you have to be in college to actually get a job? I have multiple questions of college, but…
