Dan Matarazzo Buckroe Beach (Natural Experience) #2

Last week, before the weather went down to nearly winter temperatures again, I took a break from the library and classes to go to Buckroe Beach in Hampton. My girlfriend immediately started tanning which I find quite possibly the most boring activity to do when you’re at a beach. I took off on a long walk down the shore line. After enjoying the surrounding scenery, waves at my feet, and girls sprawled out in bikinis, I quickly ended up being almost out of sight of the peer we had set our stuff out. Normally, I would head back around this time but decided to continue on for a bit longer. Soon my mind wandered from school and the people at the beach to the shells, salty air, small waves, and birds flying around me. It struck me how much the beach contrasts to the mountain, there are no ridges or over empowering formations, rather just a peaceful slops going into the water. The ocean still finds a way to make you feel small like the mountain does. As, you find your peace, you look off into the distance and the ocean stretches out further than your eye can see. The beach was very relaxing and a great way to spend my day than in the library.
