I love the beach, unfortunately I don't have too much time to get their anymore. But the smell of the ocean and the sights we see can make for a very enjoyable afternoon. I hope none of you woman get offended by my last line in this poem I had to come up with something that rhymed and that was a perfect fit (lol). Thanks for reading....All the best

You walk along the sandy beach And you taste the salted air You step on very tiny shells As the wind blows through your hair The ocean splashes on your feet As your baking in the sun You see a ship in the horizon And children having fun Surfers surfing atop the waves And swimmers swim and float Beach balls and sand castles on the shore And fisherman in their boat Lifeguards whistling at drifters at sea And whistles at girls from the boys Pigeons and seagulls and volleyball players Creating some of the noise Umbrellas, blankets, and burning tanners And musclemen flexing their chests Swimsuits, short shorts, and girls in bikinis Showing off some of their breasts

A lovely rhyme Charlie, the beach is without a doubt a great place for inspiration to us poets. It's always facinates me, my first one was about an early morning walk on the beach. Tom

Enjoyed your poem, loved the rhyme. I live 5 minutes from a beautiful beach in Adelaide Sth Australia, a suburb called Moana. And your poem could be describing it.
