A visit to the beach
It was a sunny day when I went to the beach. The sea was calm. There weren't people around, but birds were flying in the sky. I was walking along a cost without any thoughts in my head, but one thought suddenly crossed my mind. I remembered as I fell in love with the sea. When I was a child, my parents and I went to the beach almost every day for a walk. We are used to living near the beach. I was able to see from my window as blue waves moved across the surface of the sea and broke over cliffs.

A visit to the beach
It was a sunny day when I went to the beach. The sea was calm. There weren't people around, but birds were flying in the sky. I was walking along the beach (or: the coast*) without any thoughts in my head, but one thought suddenly crossed my mind. I remembered how I fell in love with the sea. When I was a child, my parents and I went to the beach almost every day for a walk. We are used to living near the beach. I was able to see from my window as blue waves moved across the surface of the sea and broke over cliffs.
"the coast" sounds more like a geographical term, or a region to me. I.e., "He lives on the coast" -> he lives near the beach. "I remembered as I fell in love with the sea.", the word "as" does not fit here. Here are two options that sound more natural: "I remembered when I fell in love the beach", and "I remembered how I fell in love with the beach." Ты очень хорошо написала текст. Нет много проблемов.
