Last weekend, my family and I went to the beach. We left home early in the morning. When we arrived, the beach was quite crowded. We found a nice spot under a big tree and set up our picnic. My sister and I immediately ran to the water and started swimming. The water was cool and refreshing. After swimming, we built sandcastles and played beach volleyball. In the afternoon, we had a delicious picnic lunch. We ate sandwiches, fried chicken, and fruit. We also had some ice cream for dessert. Before we went home, we watched the beautiful sunset. It was a perfect day at the beach.
