Brown scales soaked up the sun as it gleamed down on a medium sized figure who was snuggled into the sand, purple eyes opening slowly as the sound of wing flaps above his head startled him from his beach nap. Flint lifted his head as he shook off the sandy grit that had gotten stuck in his scales while he was asleep, giving off a large yawn before getting to his feet.

Flint had made his way to the beach to escape the heat and what a good way to start off with a nap in the sand for the cryo. Once fully awake Flint stood up and began to walk down the beach enjoying each step in the sand he made heading to the water that would provide a cool relief from the heat, and some playful fun for him.

“Ah this is life, escaping the heatwave with some time down here in the beautiful reefs and beaches of the island” Flint said with a smile coming from his jaws, coming to the water and taking a few steps into it before splashing slightly with his tail.

Flint made his way deeper into the shallow water as he looked around the coral reefs he could see below the water admiring them with all the color they held, before sitting down in the water letting out a content sigh before splashing around slightly with his claws and letting out a chuckle.

Flint had seen some others who were also enjoying the beach today pass by and always gave a happy smile and wave to them before going back to his own enjoyment. He was happy being alone and relaxing but it was nice seeing others also coming down to escape the heat. 

As Flint splashed around in the water he moved slowly with each step in the water trying to spot different things in the reef he was following from above, watching the tones of fish swimming around him.

“I should come down here more often the forest doesn’t have this much color like the beaches do” he mumbled to himself before looking back at the shore and stepping towards it as he had enough of the water soaking his scales, it was now time to dry off and sunbath a bit for Flint he could never get enough of the sun that the island provided and the warm sand against his scales was never enough.

Flint smiled as he left the water seeing the various shells that had been washed ashore from the tide coming in, it was now time to find a basking spot but it needed to be different from his napping spot.

Walking down the beach a bit Flint looked at many flat sandy spots but nothing stood out to the carnivore before coming across a bend seeing a large palm tree sitting in the sand providing a nice shaded area.

“This would be a great spot and look at all the sand mounds I can use that to maybe make some walls to lay against”  he mumbled to himself as he headed towards the palm tree excited to make use of it. Flint soon had gotten to the tree looking upwards at the large leaves that branched off from the top, it also had coconuts that clung to the top.

This was the spot and it was a good one too, a relaxing zone for Flint and he was ready to use it with a quick move of his claws he shifted the sand around making a spot for him to lay in. it was just enough under the palm tree but enough in the sun to his liking.

Shale had enjoyed the day with various sightseeing, playing in the waves and collecting various items he found in the sand. It was a day well spent for the cryo at the beach and resting with a sun bath was a great way to end it well at least to flint. 

As the day got closer to the end Flint had packed up his things he had found in his claws before taking one last look at the palm tree letting out a smile before following his left behind footprints in the sand.

“ I will have to come visit again, spending the day at the beach is always a treat and it definitely beats the forest” he said to himself as he hummed away soon heading back to the lush green forest he called home. The beach was peaceful and always provided a great experience for those who didn’t call it their home. Flint was one of those dinosaurs and he would always come back whenever he could, ducking into the trees he was nowhere to be seen his pale brown scales and purple eyes soon gone.
