Last holiday, my friends and I went to the beach near from our city. We went early in the morning and arrived there at 8 a.m. luckily, that day was sunny. The beach seemed so beautiful under the blue sunny sky. It was great to feel the sand grains beneath our feet and the breeze blowing our hair gently.

At noon, we started to feel hungry, so we decided to head to the nearest food stall. The fish looked fresh and there were a lot of seafood menu listed here. We ordered grilled fishes. The dishes were delicious since the seller made them from fresh ingredients. We filled our bellies to our heart’s content.

We stay until the sun set because many people said the view was so outstanding. They were right, it was amazing. We took great photos as a keepsake of our beautiful moments here. We went home happily and fully recharged, ready for our daily routine, going to school the next day.

We were outside of Mumbai, far from the crowded landmarks of the bustling city, staying in a beach hut in the fishing village of Mandrem. To get to the remote village, we had to follow miles of bumpy backroads, but it was worth it. The unspoiled coastline had no hotels or restaurants, and was a temporary home to just a handful of people. Spreading out before us were five kilometers of deserted beaches, just empty sands, a few crabs and a green frog that lived in our toilet. On our trek among the sand dunes, close to the shore, we saw a turtle nest with rope around it to keep visitors away. On the first night, we caught sight of an eagle drifting in on the wind currents from distant lands, miles away. It was a heavenly break from the crowds.
