As the school year of grade five came to a close, with excellent academic achievements, I was rewarded by my parents with a trip to Sam Son beach. It was a mesmerizing scene that I will never forget.
Sam Son is a famous seaside resort in Thanh Hoa province. Alongside the coastline are luxurious guesthouses and hotels. However, the most impressive aspect of this mainland area is its fresh, airy atmosphere. The streets are wide and clean, nestled peacefully under the shade of coconut and casuarina trees. Riding a cyclo through these streets in the evening is absolutely delightful. The cool breeze and fresh air make tourists feel incredibly comfortable.
Perhaps the greatest gift bestowed upon Sam Son by nature is its stunning beach. Looking out from the shore, the beach area resembles a gentle green curve. The water is incredibly clear and blue. The gentle waves caress the shore like lulling coconut palms to sleep. The most enjoyable aspect of swimming at Sam Son beach is being tossed and turned by the strong, refreshing waves.
If one desires to admire the panoramic view of the coastline, they can take a boat ride further out to sea. The boat's wake forms white streaks resembling snow. On the boat, one can admire on one side the bustling beach and on the other side the vast, beautiful blue sea. Particularly, although called a beach, at Sam Son, one can both enjoy the vastness of the ocean and appreciate the grandeur of the mountains.
Looking eastward, one sees a lush green mangrove forest. The water waves create tiny water sprays covering the trees, giving the impression of some mythical fairyland from afar. Upon closer inspection, one realizes it is a mangrove forest planted to block the wind, which sways gracefully in the year-round breeze. Heading westward, one encounters the quite majestic Co Tien mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, with the sea roaring in front and the imposing mountain behind, is quite an experience.
Spending a few days at Sam Son, enjoying the beauty of this fascinating scenery, only heightens my pride in the rich, abundant beauty of my homeland, Vietnam.

When we mention the beloved S-shaped land, we immediately think of majestic, lush green mountains, vast stretches of rice fields, winding rivers... For me, the most captivating aspect of nature is the pristine beaches, bathed in sunlight and wind.
Sunrise at Sam Son is simply breathtaking! The sun rises slowly, peeking through the white clouds and gradually emerging over the shimmering waves in the distant sea. It's as if the sky and the sea are seamlessly connected. The sun hangs in the sky like a ripe orange, casting its light in all directions. The sea, in turn, sparkles as if it's trying to retain all the warmth of the new sunlight. After a while, the sun ascends higher. The sky turns a deep blue, fading the white clouds away. At this moment, the sunlight intensifies, gleaming brilliantly. The long stretch of sand glistens. Some creatures drift ashore with the waves. The wind grows stronger, whipping up waves after waves crashing onto the shore. The waves rise and fall, twisting and turning as if they want to reach the shore.
The tall coconut trees sway gracefully in the wind, as if cheering on the overflowing waves. Tourists flock in more and more as time passes. Some sit and admire the sea, some stroll along the beach, while others swim in the water. My younger brother and I start building sandcastles. A tall castle with a sharp peak, we dig a moat around to prevent water from seeping in. Suddenly, a wave rushes in, sweeping away our castle. My brother laughs in excitement, then goes to build another castle. The sunlight bathes everyone on the beach in a sunny hue, everyone glowing with joy.
I faintly hear the murmuring of the waves, the laughter and chatter of people, and the happiness of this land. The sea seems happy, perhaps knowing that nature has bestowed upon it a unique beauty that nowhere else can replicate.

Last Thursday morning, our school organized a beach getaway to Sam Son. The bus was filled with laughter and eager eyes. After a few hours, we arrived at the beach.
As soon as the bus stopped, we all exclaimed, 'The beach is here!' The vast, deep blue sea was bathed in sunlight. The sea breeze tousled our hair. The pristine white sand welcomed the footsteps of tourists. Tall buildings stretched into rows along the shore. We were taken to a hotel overlooking the sea, where we could enjoy the breeze and the view day and night.
The beach was bustling with people, echoing with cheers and the sound of waves. The sky was clear and high. The deep blue sea merged with the horizon. The gentle breeze, the calm waves. The sea resembled a giant emerald mirror. White clouds cast shadows on the sparkling water. The waves beckoned us to dive in, play, and have fun.
Each of us had a float. We rushed into the water, bobbing up and down with the waves. Playing with friends in the blue water, I felt truly happy. The sea continued to gently soothe us. Far out at sea, faint glimpses of fishing boats with white and brown sails fluttering like butterflies. Fishermen were busy casting nets in the vast expanse.
As the sun rose higher, shining brightly, the beach gradually emptied. By midday, everyone returned to their accommodations, leaving only the long stretch of white sand to confide in the blue sea and the waves.
As evening approached, the sun softened, and the beach became more crowded and lively than in the morning. The wind grew stronger. The sea surged with white waves crashing ashore. Cheers echoed everywhere. We jumped and played in the waves. Some of us got hit in the face by a wave, dazed for a few seconds before continuing the game. The mischievous waves kept us happily entertained.
As dusk fell, the last rays of sunlight faded, and the sea gradually turned dark purple. The nighttime sea was truly mysterious. If it weren't for the lights from the row of buildings illuminating the beach, we might not dare to admire the night sea. The sound of waves murmuring concealed an extraordinary, incomprehensible power. The tide rose close to the roadside. The night sea breeze brought a refreshing feeling to us.
And so, the first day at Sam Son came to an end. Tomorrow morning, we'll wake up early to catch the magnificent sunrise over the open sea.

Our country, everywhere has its own scenic beauty. I've always loved going to the beach since I was a child. This summer, to reward us for graduating, our parents took us to Sam Son.
Sam Son beach is located on the land of Thanh Hoa. From Hanoi, our car drove on smooth asphalt roads, with vast rice fields on both sides, lush green trees, and distant low hills... In no time, the sea appeared before us.
Sam Son has a very beautiful and long beach. The smooth sand gently slopes down to the sea, welcoming the gentle waves from afar. Rows of coconut trees, pine trees, and casuarina trees surround the beach, sometimes joyfully cheering, sometimes quietly listening to the waves... Next to the beach, the Truong Le mountain range stands tall along the water's edge. To the south of Truong Le range is the hidden fairy beach, a small valley with almost pristine scenery. At the end of the beach is the venerable Doc Cuoc temple, perched on a rocky hill. Along the way, the sound of horse-drawn carriages takes tourists to visit the scenery. Below the beach, laughter, calling out to each other, the sound of waves, the sound of wind... blend together, creating the characteristic sounds of the beach.
Sam Son beach has a different beauty at every moment of the day. Every day, I wake up early to go to the beach to welcome the sunrise. To the east, the sky turns a faint pink. The gray clouds gradually recede into the distance. I don't know when, the fog covering the vast sea has been lifted. The sea and the sky merge, turning blue. Fishing boats returning from the night's catch. Bright smiles on their lips, signaling a successful fishing trip. The buying and selling scene is bustling. Long lines of fish stretch along the road to the market. But it's only for a moment, the buying and selling scene ends. That's also when the sun rises quite high, casting thousands of sparkling rays on everything. The sea has receded far from the shore. The silver-tipped waves lap the shore, embracing the golden sand strip. Colorful kites fly amidst the blue of the mountains and the sea. Coconut groves sway in the morning sunlight. Like me, some tourists are amazed by the romantic and vast sunrise of the sea.
Sunset. For me, this is the most glorious moment of the sea. The sun turns bright red like a giant fireball, slowly sinking into the sea. Perhaps that's why the sea, from a pale blue color, gradually becomes more brilliant with a thousand shades of orange, yellow, red, and purple. The waves also become more fierce, chasing each other fiercely onto the shore, just sweeping away everything and knocking down the rocks by the sea. From the shore, looking far away, the sea is truly vast and mysterious.
The night slowly descends, enveloping everything. The sparkling stars seem to be winking teasingly at everyone. The waves keep pushing onto the shore, seeming stronger, more rushing. The sea has flooded all over the sand, sweeping away the fortresses. The houses that the children have painstakingly built today. The wind from the sea blows in, carrying the salty taste, coolness. Hazy in the night, offshore, the lights of the night fishing boats flicker. Amidst the dense night, the lighthouse still shines brightly to guide the way for the ships. I step onto the road. Another world appears before my eyes. Shops, stores bustling with people, bright lights and music. On the sidewalk, stalls display products from the sea in abundance. The vendors are very friendly, they are ready to tell us about their beloved Sam Son. I hesitated for a long time, finally bought a beautiful coral.
Going home, my heart lingered. Even if life changes in the future, my memories of Sam Son will surely remain intact. I love this place - the vast waves of Sam Son.

Nature always holds many beautiful and miraculous things. It would be truly blissful to be able to admire the sea - the beauty that Mother Nature generously bestows upon us.
This summer, I went on a trip with my parents to Sam Son beach. In the summer, there are many tourists from both domestic and foreign coming here to rest and relax after many hard-working days...
In the morning, I woke up early with my mother to watch the sunrise, to see the sun rise over the sea. Even though it was early in the morning, there were already many people going to the beach for a walk. The fishing boats of the fishermen were slowly returning after a night of hard work. On the boat were the fruits of their labor with big fish. The sun rose, casting the first rays of the day onto the sea. The sea water sparkled in the sunlight. Children were taken by their parents to watch the sunrise together, happily playing with sand, building sand castles,... They looked so innocent and happy.
When the sun was high, each group had to gradually leave because the intense sunlight would affect our health.
In the afternoon, as the sun gradually set, I was allowed by my mother to go swimming again. The waves followed each other, crashing onto the shore. The sea was full of foam. On the sea, more and more people went swimming. The sea water was very cool, if not careful, when the waves flooded in, we could easily drink seawater. Some people didn't go into the sea but stayed on the beach, looking at everything around them. Children, perhaps because they were afraid of the waves, only played with sand on the shore. Sometimes the waves flooded in and then receded, leaving behind shells, and they scrambled to pick them up.
In the evening, it was really cool here. My mother and I wandered around the beach to enjoy the wind, gaze at the starry sky, feeling a happiness that's hard to describe...
The sea is also an extremely rich and vast source of resources. With the sea, humans will develop the tourism industry, exploit oil... With the sea, humans will have more convenience in marine transportation, thus being able to exchange with other countries more easily. But in the modern context, the sea is gradually being polluted, marine creatures are gradually decreasing, so when humans exploit and tour the sea, we must do so within a certain framework to ensure the balance of the ecosystem...
