We felt a pleasant breeze while walking on the warm, smooth sand. The scene was that off a postcard. At the beach, my family and I rented snorkeling gear to fit ourselves. While snorkeling, we gazed at numerous colorful fish exploring around the jagged coral. The coral was incredibly sharp if you were to touch it with your hand.
It’s the one place where I could sit forever and not even notice the time go by. The ocean is a place where all senses are on overload, and where nothing else in the world matters but that one moment in time. When at the ocean, I am able to feel, smell, touch, and taste the earth in all of its beauty. With each step I feel the healing warmth of the sand as it gently massages my feet. I can feel the power of the earth as each wave shakes the ground beneath me.
In Malibu, California, surfing was seen as glamorous by Hollywood celebrities. The postwar boom in wealth, mobility, and leisure time brought people to the beaches in droves, many of them to surf. Even in Hermosa Beach and the rest of Southern California, surfing was getting picked up little by little by young men.

In order to know for sure that it was what he was looking for Captain Huggy Face decided to stay around and explore the outskirts of the island. Two days passed and they discovered that the island had a gold treasure! Now with this finding he came back every day to see if it’d be replenished again and so one day it was filled up again. After several weeks Huggy Face saw the adversity of creatures that lived there, which was a total bonus on his behalf; he knew it’d become more than a want but a wish to be there for every traveler in the world.
When I’m overwhelmed, nothing relaxes me more than sitting in the cool sand as the sun is setting. Walking around barefoot brings me back to being a child and listening to the waves hit against the shore clears my mind. Just a minute on the beach and my mind goes from utter madness to complete serenity. Another example of a relaxing place is Wohseepee Park. Living around the block from a park has its perks.
To realize a sense of belonging, the human spirit must embrace and understand the experience of disconnection. The protagonist in Alex Garland’s The Beach felt fondness and communion with the secret beach. “It was the beach and the World… My beach, where you could walk into any conversation at any time between anybody, and the World, where you couldn’t.” The juxtaposition of Richard’s experience on the beach and his experience on the tourist inhabited Kho Phan Ngan elevates his fondness for his beach. By contrasting feelings of disgust in Kho Phan Ngan with perfection and likeness with the beach it is clear that in order to achieve a complete sense of connection with an external idea, place, person or concept, then an understanding of how oneself reacts to feelings of displacement is necessary. To understand how one befits and occasion, idea or place, one must also fathom how self identity applies to the concept of belonging.
