On a hot summer’s day on the golden yellow sands of Brighton beach I would be lazing in the sun all day only moving to go swimming in the sea, where maybe I would see some crabs or a fish. You couldn’t miss the rockpools rich in life and colour, full of all kinds of wildlife, spending hours exploring all of the crack and crevices seeing what ill find until the sun goes down. For dinner there would be fish and chips from one of the beachfront shores, a medium battered fish and small chips, and I would eat it while going for a walk down the beach then I would go back to my hotel and turn in.
The Hotel I would stay in would have a breakfast buffet and a swimming pool, to make the mornings more interesting. On the second day I would do some of the water sports and go for a walk in the surrounding area of the beach and meet up with some friends have a picnic and a game of football then we would go and get some pizza from a restaurant. On the second night in the hotel I would watch TV in my room and rest for a busy next day.
Early in the morning on the third day I would go for a run down the beach and shop for souvenirs for my family whilst just exploring the streets of Brighton and wandering around seeing the sights. In the afternoon on the third day I would go back to the beach and sit in the sun and relax, maybe go swimming and get a some dinner from one of the beachfront shops and eat it as the sun goes down on the crashing waves of the beach before going back to the hotel and get ready for the final day at Brighton beach. Waking up on the final day is always hard because the time flies so fast when you are on holiday and often you never want to leave. Even though I would be sad about leaving I would make the most of my day I would pack all of my bags in the morning and get everything ready for the train ride back, before wandering around Brighton in the remaining few hours before I would go down to the train station and go home
