Summer Vacation

I.       Beach

A beach is a landform along a shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake or river. It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, pebbles or cobblestones. Our local beaches on the coast consist of sand. This is a great way to spend the day with the family and inexpensive as well!
