When everything is great and sunny, there are plenty of people around, when the storms roll in and it's cold or rainy, no one can be found. Some days the water is calm and it's smooth sailing, other days the waves are crashing and you get tossed around, the double red flags are out and the rip current could take your life.
Some people build beautiful sculptures in the sand and some of us just end up with sand in our crack! For some it is a place to rest while others are busying themselves with activities - flying kites, throwing a football, playing volleyball or going for a jog.
Generations are represented from the new baby to grandma. Families gather in matching khakis for their annual photo. Folks line up in the evening to get the perfect sunset picture. The beach is probably one of the most photographed backgrounds.

The wind and the weather change the shape of the beach over the years, the big storms more drastically, just as we are changed by our experiences - both good and bad. Once in awhile the beach is covered with seaweed, something they used to haul away because it detracts from the beauty of the beach but plays an important part in preserving it from erosion, much like some of the ugliness that happens in our lives, building us up for something we can't perceive in the future.
