Descriptive Writing: Deserted Beach
I was reading my sisters english homework, in which she had to write descriptive piece, i loved it and so have pasted it up here……
The sea was calm.
There was no ship in sight, and the seagulls were motionless upon its even greyness.
The sky was dark with lowering clouds, but there was no wind.
The line of the horizon was clear and fragile.
The gritted beach, no less deserted, was thick with tangled seaweed, and the infinite shells crushed under the feet that trod them.
The break-waters, which sought to prevent the continous violation of the waves were rotten with age & green with the sea-slime.
It was a deserted scene but there was restfulness in its melancholy ;
and the great silence, the sophisticated dullness of colour, might have given peace to a heart that was troubled.

That’s a lovely account of discriptive writing, it inspired me to write something of my own too, the picture perfectly matches the passage.
It was a nice way to portray a beach, not quite like any other.
have a nice day
