Why beaches are cool

Beaches are amazing because when the sunset hits you can see the horizon. I also love the beach because the water is so clear. The best beach that I went to was in Nassau, Bahamas, and Bora Bora Tahiti. I travel a lot around the world. Beaches are my favorite honestly and I would love to live on one. I love taking pictures of the beach, someday I wanna take pictures of people riding the waves on their surfboards with my long lenses on the camera just to get the perfect shot.

I'm really good at taking pictures, especially on the beach. I can edit sunrises and sunsets super good if it looks not bad. If it looks decent I want it to look better so my followers can say oh my gosh look at that sunrise or sunset, I want to go there where is it? Where did you take this? Who took this photo? This looks like it can be a postcard. Most of the photos that I take are like a postcard that can be bought from a store.

Why do I love the beach? To see the sunsets, walking on the shoreline in the sand with your bare feet, collecting seashells. One of my favorite shells is the conch (conk) CONCH! No, it's pronounced like conk. Conch shells are very beautiful when the animal is out because you can hear the ocean when you bring it up to your ear. Most people back then probably use conch shells as horns in a lot of places tho I'm not quite sure what places that would be. Probably Hawaii, Caribbean, and French Polynesians islands they would use it.

A lot of people go surfing on the beaches, wakeboarding, water ski, jet ski or even paragliding. For me when I'm on the beach I like to stay on the shoreline or stay in the shallow waters collecting seashells. Why don't I go further than that? I have a fear of sharks mostly because I hear a lot of shark attacks happening and that I've seen a lot of shark movies which I probably shouldn't 'cause I don't like scary movies and such.

So why do you go to the beach if you're afraid of sharks? I love the beach and seeing the waves form while people just wade out there or riding out in the ocean. I've seen the movie blue lagoon which is a very old movie about two kids who are stranded on the beach after losing their parents from a freak accident and had someone to take care of them, then eventually they passed away from a freak accident; knowing that they aren't gonna be rescued at all and had to take care of each other. They had to learn how to catch their food in the ocean and make a house to live in to survive. It's a really good movie if you want to watch it. This movie is mainly for teenagers and adults not for kids to watch. If you're gonna watch this, watch it in another room where your little kids can't watch it.

Another movie that was really good is castaway and the character is played by Tom Hanks who is an amazing actor. I really think he portrayed this role really well and had to go in character. He is basically stranded on a beach as well after their plane had crashed into the ocean while they were delivering packages. After crashing into the ocean, he had to learn how to survive on his own for I believe it was 5 years or so that he was on that island. In one of the scenes, he had to remove his wisdom teeth himself which looked pretty painful and had to fix his leg also after breaking it. He had to learn how to survive on food, water and make a place in case it rained and make a boat too which was probably hard.

If I had the opportunity to live on the beach, I'm definitely taking a nice tan and collecting seashells. Would I wanna snorkel or scuba dive or even surfboard and etc. Well, I'm not sure about that, I think my anxiety will kick in and get freaked out. One of the shells I saw in Costa Rica was a dollar shell, however, it was broken when I found it. I never knew that dollar shells was a fish that eventually dries up. I always thought it was just a shell, not a fish.

My favorite beach has to be the Bahamas. The Bahamas has the most clearest waters on the planet, you can do a lot of things in the Bahamas while you are there. I like going to the Bahamas, its one of my favorite places to go to every year.
