Hello Summer part 5 of 12

Kids with wet hair and sandy faces throw seaweed and collect shells. The rising tide teases as castles made of sand drip into the sea. The crashing waves roar with aggressiveness but are silent to the ears of the unconcerned. The beach is a playground where you don’t have to wear shoes. Its a park where grass doesn’t stain and a hot slide is a cool tide pool. Kids play while parents watch the surging surf.

The occasional summer swell brings pounding shore break and the worries of watching parents. What is summer without the thumping collision of an angry wave and a careless child?

Have you been the victim of an angry shore break? Where?
