Last holiday, my friends and I went to the beach near from our city. We went early in the morning and arrived there at 8 a.m. luckily, that day was sunny. The beach seemed so beautiful under the blue sunny sky. It was great to feel the sand grains beneath our feet and the breeze blowing our hair gently.

At noon, we started to feel hungry, so we decided to head to the nearest food stall. The fish looked fresh and there were a lot of seafood menu listed here. We ordered grilled fishes. The dishes were delicious since the seller made them from fresh ingredients. We filled our bellies to our heart’s content.

We stay until the sun set because many people said the view was so outstanding. They were right, it was amazing. We took great photos as a keepsake of our beautiful moments here. We went home happily and fully recharged, ready for our daily routine, going to school the next day.
