The beach

In the summer I usually go to the beach. I like swimming but I don´t like to much be under the sun much, so I go early in the morning, more or less at 10:30, and I leave around 12:00.
I live near the coast, and the closest beach is ten minutes by car. When I get to the beach I put down the sun umbrella and the towel, and apply myself sunscreen.
There is a watch beach beach watch service, and it warn us if the sea is not able good for swimming with a flags color code color coded flags. When the flag is green the sea is calm. When it is yellow we have to be careful and when it's red the swim swimming is banned.
This summer the weather is has been good, and most of the days the flag has been green, so I could swim a lot.
When I go back home from the beach, I enjoy having a beer sitting in on the porch.
