Today we’ll learn some vocabulary related to the beach.
Look at this beautiful sand castle. It must have taken really long to build it.
You can see all sorts of beachwear on a beach. Women wear bikinis or swimsuits and men wear swimming trunks.
It was early in the morning. There was no one on the pier. Our three sailboats were already there, waiting for us to be sailed.

When I saw the sailboarder on his sailboard I realized how much fun sailboarding is.
