​A beach in Hawai is like a paradise. To start with, the beach smells like a new ocean air freshener. The sand is so hot that when you walk on it after the sea, you feel like you walk on a burning grill. Not far from the shore, you can see the palm trees. They sway in the air from the strong wind. In a distance, there is a beautiful house by the water, so you can see the navy blue ocean every day. People are laughing and playing in the burning sand, and other are relaxing on the beach sunbathing. From a far distance the ocean is a deep navy blue. At night you can only hear the waves of the ocean and the light wind which comes form the huge palm trees. The beach is an amazing place for a perfect summer holiday.
