December Beach Days in Hawaii

A beach in Hawaii on a December day is like a day at a lake in mid August. The beach smells fresh, almost like a new
ocean breeze air freshener. The sand is hot and looks like gold blended in with little white specks; it sparkles like the water running
off the swimmers back and feels like walking on coals from a burning grill. Not far from the shore, you can see the coral sitting still
in the wild and shallow water. Turtles drift in to see all the people. The palm trees sway in the air from the forceful wind. In a
distance, a house is beautifully placed right by the water, so it can look across the ocean each and every day. People are laughing
and playing in the burning sand, and others are relaxing on the beach bronzing their skin while enjoying the bright rays of light
coming from the sun. From a far distance the ocean is a deep navy blue; waves come in like a bulldozer from all the wind. At night
everything is still. Waves are still coming in but not as hard, while the beach is cleared from all the people. All you can hear is the
waves of the ocean and the light breeze coming from the giant palm trees. The beach is a spectacular place. Leaving it is
excruciating and difficult to do.
