The Sun beat down, the air was dry
Not a cloud in sight in the clear blue sky
Stretched on the sand, waves lapping at my feet
The beach the only remedy for this merciless heat
Buckets and spades, sand castles by the sea
The sound of happy children laughing and giddy
The smell of suntan oil that fills the airParasols shading happy families from the sun's harsh glare
Sun-blocked noses, beach towels, ball games in the sea sand
The packed picnics, the deck chairs, the ice lollies bought from the ice-cream van
A time for building sandcastles and frolicking in the water' fun
The splashing, the laughter, the swimming, a welcomed relief from the sun
The Beach a holiday Mecca that beckons you and me
Where Pilgrims flock to the seaside to be carefree
With their towels in hand they leave their lives behind
They spend a day on the beach in the glorious sunshine
They take the world off their shoulders, they let their hair down
Stress removed for the day, their frowns turned upside down
Just Sun, Sea and Laughter, unbridled time to unwind
A day at the beach leaves Stress and Worry behind

Salt mixed
From the beach you watch the waves roll in,
let them come to you, let it begin.
They bring with them the essence of
Gulls scythe the skies with their wings and cries
Mad from endless journeys on ceaseless seas.
