Sound Observation 1: Wrightsville Beach

As I walk onto Wrightsville Beach, I can already hear the sound of waves crashing onto the shore. I hear seagulls chirping across the beach, people laughing and yelling, and boats riding on the Intracoastal Waterway. The dunes are waving around in the wind, sounding very similar to the waves of the ocean, but a bit drier. Wind is blowing strongly across my sun baked face, making my body feel comfortable despite the burning sunlight. While walking on the sand, I can hear it crunching beneath my feet. It transitions from soft, to medium hard, to wet sand, each with a different texture. I stand in the water, looking out past the horizon, looking to see if I can see the European coast. As I look, I am comforted by the sound of the ocean gently surrounding my legs.
