I grew up on a beautiful island in BC Canada, called Salt Spring Island.
I spent a lot of time at the different lakes and beaches there during
the summers. However, my favourite beach was always Vesuvius. It faces
the west so you can always watch the sunset in the evenings, glowing all
the colors of the rainbow. While you are there you won't need a watch as
the ferries are sure to keep time for you. You should bring a few
paddles to use the old surboards or small boats others have left to go
out to the smaller islands to explore. Or just paddle out deep enough to
have balancing or wrestling matches with your friends. You can look
around the rocks for stafish and collect buckets full of baby crabs to
show your parents, then set them all loose again at the end of the day.
When you are older you can stay till it is after dark and have a bonfire
with your friends. You'll want to use the salt encrusted driftwood to
make your fire burn blue and purple. Once you have been there you too
will understand why I love this place and look forward to returning
there someday, to make new memories and relive my old ones.
