The Beautiful Beach

I used to spend my holidays on the beach. There is a beautiful beach in my hometown

called Chaung Thar Beach. It takes approximately five hours from the main city by car. I used to go there with my family and my friends. Usually we made a plan one or two days ahead of time before we went there. We prepared everything we would need over there. We always brought foods such as rice, chicken, snacks, and many beverages. We also brought some equipment to prepare the foods. I would never forget my fishing rod, because there is a good area for fishing.

It would be fun on the way to the beach. We would like to look at some villages and the view. I would stop for a while to take some pictures of a beautiful view. We liked to see the traditional houses, green farms, and a river connecting to the sea. A village close to the beach sold fresh seafood. I used to buy some fresh seafood there and then cook them at the beach.

I remember one time in particular that I went to the beach with my friends. First, I looked for good place when I arrived at the beach, because it would be very crowded on weekends or holidays. I selected a cool place under the trees, and extended a mat on the white sand. The wind that blew through the trees softly made the weather cool and pleasant. Peace came into my heart when I looked at the very beautiful long white sand. People played games on the beach; for instance they played volleyball. Some of them swam in the shallow sea. There were some children tried to make something by the sand, on the other hand tried to break it. Everybody looked happy at that time.

I enjoyed the atmosphere and listening to the music while my parents prepared our lunch. They set up a campfire to cook the seafood that we bought at the village. The good smell of the roasted seafood filled the air, which made me feel very hungry. While they were preparing the lunch, I went to a small shop to order some delicious coconuts. I selected some good coconuts and asked a man to climb the coconut tree and throw them down.

Everybody enjoyed the food and talked to one another. We shared our problems and many of our difficulties at the beach. My friend Jimmy always told some jokes. We laughed loudly. I lost my problems for a while, because I was happy at that time. The young coconut milk was very sweet and made me feel refreshed when I drank it. Not only the coconut milk was very good, but the inside layer of the coconut meat was also soft and delicious. It was very nice, and everyone seems to enjoyed.

Later, we sailed across the sea to a small island in front of the beach by a small boat. It cost approximately $4.00 for a ride. I used to go there to fish, because the island was good for fishing. I used to catch a lot of fish over there. I sat on a big stone and threw my fishing line into the sea. I enjoyed the feeling when a fish ate my fish bait. It was so fun! The fish pulled it and brought
