These people are having so much fun,Playing at the beach & soaking up the sun.Kite & dog, shells & sand; North Beach is the best in all the land!

Look at the side of the Police Station,There you will see the shield of some who work to make this a great nation.The Police are our friend,On them you can depend.

I spy a man on a horse,He’s waving Hello of course.He has his hat high in the air,To let you know it’s friendship that he’ll share.

Friendship Monument by Dr. Sherman Coleman

Look…it’s two fish,They’re leaping with a swish.They look so happy and freeAs they play here by the sea.

Selena was known as the flower,She sang beautiful songs with such power.Although today she is gone,Through her music she still lives on!

El Circo del Mar means circus of the sea,It looks like two pelicans playing to me.Oh look! One of them is about to dive for some fish,For what more could a pelican wish?

I spy three gigantic arrows,I wonder if they are home to any sparrows.And here’s something I bet you didn’t know, These arrows move when the winds blow.
