It was a vast blue, sparkling body of water. It was calming, the rise and fall on deep turquoise waves lapping at the shore. The myth of bringing a conch shell to one's ear will give one the sound of the soft washing of the sands, no matter how far the distance. Drawing away, only to crawl back to the pearl white beach, the ombre waves fading darker as the tide swept out. The ocean is a beautiful, stunning sight, especially at sunrise and sunset.
