My hometown is near to the ocean, and I love the beautiful views of the beaches. The beach that goes along my hometown is not a very famous spot for traveling, so it can still maintain the pristine features. The shore is rarely full of people, and usually there are just only local people to go there to enjoy fresh air and swimming. The sand is coated in the golden color of the sun, and it gives a very smoothing feeling to our feet. I love wandering on the sand with my friends, and sometimes we can pick up a lot of beautiful shells that are washed on shore. The water here is not crystal clear, but it is very colorful. When the sun just starts to rise, it has the sparking pearl white color. When there is in the middle of the day, it turns into the light blue with a little hint of green. When the sun is finally sets, the surface surprisingly transforms to an orange ocean. The water here is very clean thanks to the effort to protect the environment of government and local people. In the distance is a range of mountain which completes the overall look of this marvelous view. There are not many trees on that mountain, but it is a rock mountain instead. The surface reflects the light from the sun, and sometimes it looks like it is made from marble. When my friends from other places come to visit me, they are usually overwhelmed by the sights, and I have to take a lot of pictures for them. People here love the sea very much because it is our home and it raises us. Therefore, we always try our best to protect our habitat, and I hope everyone should do the same thing no matter where they are living.
