Take sands those who may want
Pick up the shell, conch shell those who may want
take bath those who may want
Enjoy fresh air those who may want
Fish variety of fishes those who may want .
Sit in the coast and see only the waves those who

Dive to collect pearls those who may want .
Achieve according to the purpose of visit.
