The cool ocean breeze caressed my face, carrying the salty scent of the waves crashing against the nearby shore. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, letting the fresh morning air fill my lungs.

Birds sang melodies from the lush palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. The rising sun cast a warm amber glow over the white sand, sparkling off the calm turquoise waters of the cove.
