Everyone at one time or another has witnessed the beautiful red and orange colors of a sunset. Although colorful sunsets can be seen anywhere, certain places in the world make them seem even more amazing. For me, this place is the beach. A mixture of peace, tranquility, and serenity create an unmatchable feeling of calmness I get when I am watching the sunset and the constant movements of the waves at the beach.

It is just me and my thoughts at the beach, allowing me to enjoy the sights and sounds. The sun, a large orange fireball in the distance, looks like it is slowly sinking into the ocean beneath it. The sky splashed with random blends of pinks reds, oranges, yellows and even some hints of purples and blues. The water below reflects the skies colors. The waves tinted with reds and streaks of blues. The sand under me is the same color making me feel like if the sand is on fire. The dark ocean waters and the bright sky create a contrast that makes the horizon look like a meeting of two worlds. Its beautiful and breathtaking, and I'm speechless as I sit in front of this amazing sight.

Nothing bothers me as I slowly look around the beach. A feeling of calmness wraps around me like a warm blanket. I am at peace with myself. All I can hear is the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, and some seagulls, flying overhead squawking. The cool wind blows softly through my hair sending chills down my spine. It is all so calm and pure.

The fishy smell is not so comforting; the smell tingles my nose; as I breathe in the cold, salty air. The smell of the ocean seems so pure and unpolluted, a nice change from the smog in the city. It is almost as if it were the smell of freedom, and it makes me want to get up and go walking along the shore, and that is exactly what I do. As I walk, the cold wind hits my face, blowing my hair back. The air makes my eyes water and my wet feet tingle. The sand is soft beneath my feet as I walk close to the ocean; the waves hit my legs and wash away the sand; from underneath me. I almost fall, and I stumble clumsily, My arms are swinging in the air as I try to catch my balance. I stop, short of breath, and feel the sand sticking to my skin as I walk a few more steps into the ocean to wash my feet. I wash my feet and head back to the beach; I sit down, and I look out into the horizon again. I didn't even notice; the sun has almost disappeared. The sky is more purple than red now, transitioning from day to night. I lean back onto my elbows and stare at the sky, admiring the different shades of colors. I breathe in deeply as I watch the evening turn into night.

I love the beach, and everything about it, I enjoy going to the beach no matter the season or weather but my all-time favorite thing to do at the beach is watch the sunset on the ocean. There is nothing that is more beautiful or relaxing to me than to watch daylight turn unto night
