Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida, was recently named the best beach in the United States. I've been there many times, so I'll tell you what's so great about this beach. First, the sand beats the sand at any other beach hands down. And the water! The water is simply awesome. You won't find better-looking girls at any other beach in the country. Parking is a problem at Siesta Beach, but that's only because everybody wants to go there. By the way, don't forget the water. The water off Siesta Beach is, well, you'll just have to come see for yourself! Oh, and if you get hungry, there's a pavilion too. Read the paragraph about Siesta Key Beach. It is full of dull and imprecise language. Rewrite the paragraph to make the language more vivid and precise. You can do this by using words that appeal to the five senses and by removing inexact words like awesome and replacing them with words that express exactly what you want to say. If it's been a while since you've been to a beach, just use your imagination.
