    What Is a Beach For?

    The beach is for everyone.
    No matter who you are
    Big, tall, small…we are all one.
    Beaches are close and far.
    The beach is for everyone
    So all come and have fun.
    We can play in the sand
    Splash in the waves
    Run along the shore
    Tan in the sun
    And have guaranteed fun.
    The beach is to create friendships
    The beach is a place to love
    To create
    To innovate
    And to be great.
    The beach is to love
    To protect
    To care for
    And to adore.
    Memories are created, friendship are formed.
    Please beach, do no leave us.
    We are here to protect and save you.
    The beach is for everyone, so let’s all protect it together.
    —Jackie Brune

    Beach of Dreams

    On the beach of dreams, we sit
    watching a never setting sun.
    Never wondering how long
    our love will last,
    or how much time, we have.
    Our dreams stretch out forever
    like our love my dear.
    Our hearts beat as one
    whenever you are near.
    Each day as the sun rises,
    I want to return to the beach.
    The beach of dreams,
    which both of us share.
    —David Harris
