You take a languid stroll and claim a favourite patch of powdery sand. You lay your towel down and observe the tri-band of cobalt blue meld into jade and turquoise. Gentle waves lap the shoreline playing one of nature’s seaside symphonies.
You immerse yourself in the tepid waters and emerge renewed. The water’s clarity takes you by surprise. You taste the right amount of sea salt on your lips. You breathe in the fresh marine air and feel the warmth of the sun permeate your skin.
Your senses take in the experience better than any camera can capture. You live the memory and file it in your mind’s recent archives. You look at the blue in the sky and paint it with your words. Your inspiration soars to new heights.
You have just experienced a taste of paradise perfection, and you have found it within your reach. You did not travel to a tropical island, a sandy stretch in an exotic land or a luxurious resort in the lap of paradise.
Today, paradise can be found at your doorstep.
