The Beach

There is a dark blue sea. The tall, huge trees are bending. There are people lying on the hot sand. There are people laughing out loud. I saw the colourful ball hit over the High net.
There are small seagulls over my head.  I heard the big splashing waves. I can see people on there awesome surf boards.
