Black Sand’s Beach For me beaches are places to relax. When I fell tired or angry I go there and twenty minutes are enough to change my mood. I always take a sunbath first and later, when I am very hot, I go to the ocean to swim. I live in a coastal city of Brazil, Guarapari, where there are fifty-two beaches, but there is a beach which is my favorite one, “Praia da Areia Preta”, that means “Black Sand’s Beach”, because part of its sand is black. This beach is famous because there is radioactivity in its sand, and people say that it is very good to recover energy, and make ill people feel better. The population of my city is approximately 120,000 people, but in the summer it increase to 1,000,000. The city becomes full and hard to do normal activities like driving and grocery shopping, but the beach still great.
