Edited by Pia Marie Villamante, Jonathan, Lynn, Eng and 2 others
Have you planned your vacation trip? The best spot for many people when they are looking for a relaxing vacation would be the beach.
Some of the best beaches in the world are Bora Bora in Tahiti, The Hamptons in New York, and Lanikai Beach in Hawaii.
The glittering sand that you feel on your toes, the swaying and rocking movement of every tree, the sunset, the strong warm winds that you feel on your skin, and the flourishing tropical plants are all a part of the experience. These are the elements that make up a beautiful and relaxing beach getaway.
It would be fun and exciting to bring your family and friends with you.
