Winter Break Descriptive Essay
            Have you ever experienced a wonderful getaway at the beach with friends and family? It is with no doubt a relaxing and peaceful moment one could ever experience in their life. I like to see it as a time of happiness where you let yourself go and feel free to course around to the calming waters and its glamorous waves. It is a wonderful sensation to perceive the soothing sound of the beautiful waves as you trout around the soft, but sizzling sand. You start encountering burning sensations on your sensitive foot, but then here comes the refreshing water to eject that feeling, soothe, and relax your foot.
            It was a Tuesday morning where I woke up to the sound of the birds chirping and hearing those annoying vehicles driving through a busy road. My apartment was filled with lots of noise coming from the neighbor’s kid’s screams and shouts while playing outside. Since it was winter break, my family and I decided we wanted to leave sight of the house, where we’ve been at most of our time during this vacation. We decided we shall visit a calm and relaxing place so we came upon Santa Monica Beach and it’s relishing Pier. The moment I stepped out the door I knew it was a perfect time to head to the beach. It was a sunny and bright morning where you can feel the warm gleams of the sun shoot right through your body that it makes you shiver from how warm its rays are.
            Knowing it was a busy day, I knew that the bus ride was going to be crammed full of people. It was as we expected, all seats were full and we were dammed because it was going to be a long ride. I made it an enjoying start of a trip for myself because I witnessed every sight of the streets that surrounded me looking at the busy streets of Santa Monica and the people that were touring around it. There were plenty of people enjoying their time walking in and out of stores and eating at their most beloved restaurant. It was one pleasant cruise as I waited to arrive at my destination, where my family and I will enjoy our visit.
            The door of the bus opened at our stop and it was one very virtuous sensation. I could feel the fresh, cool breeze strike and puncture my warm body as I was one step closer to reaching the beautiful beach. It was an amazing view from the streets because you are able to witness an overview of the whole beach itself. The people roaming the streets were ready to dive into the beach with their boogie boards in hand and go as deep as possible. With a sight up into the sky, you can see the vast number of white seagulls with their enormously long yellow beak and find their next victim to take their food from and make their visit hell.
            We walked along the warm, but soft sand in search for a comfortable place to settle and enjoy the glamorous view of the water and its ravishing waves. The moment I stepped into the water, I was very astonished by how wonderful the cold water felt. It was a moment where I felt like it was running and circulating my whole body, a sensation like if you were to jump into a tub of ice. The sound of the beautiful waves gave peace to my ears as I cruised around the ocean’s waters. An experience as if you were living heaven down on earth. The beach is just an incredible experience that is worth every moment spent on it; one that is unforgettable with all its pleasant memories. You are able to see all the other people that surround you who are also having and enjoying a time of their life with other friends and family filled with joy and peace that nature brings us.

            It was also a pleasant time walking up to the Pier and getting on their tremendous attractions filled with lots of screams and laughter that expresses happiness and joy among one another. It was the world famous Ferris Wheel that made it a wonderful time because it was a relaxing and peaceful moment where you get to spectate the fabulous view of the ocean and the entire city itself. Nature is one remarkable gift the world brings us and allows us to experience moments like these.

  1. Great essay. Uses a lot of details and fully explains the experience that you have went through, allowing the reader picture the scene the author is writing about. However there are a few grammar mistakes here and there and some sentences may be a little too wordy causing the text to lose its true impact and at times confuses the reader. Overall this essay was a pleasant read.
