Take In the Surf

I shade my eyes, the beach is white
The tide does roll, an awesome sight
I smell the air, salty and fresh
I rub my toes in sandy mesh
Blanket, umbrella, set to go
The emerald plain, the waves do flow
Beneath the boardwalk, gulls in play
Finding their meal beneath the clay
Beach balls and surf boards, color fun
And all enjoy the summer sun
Seashells, sand dollars, 'long the beach
A drink, a dog, within my reach
Take in the surf, take in your soul
Release your cares and soon be whole

This reminds me of the summer at the Jersey Shore. You did a better job at describing such a place better than the Drifters. The way it has been cold outside is making me long for the summer.
