A summer breeze whispers softly, stirring the golden sand. The ocean radiates life, warmth, beauty. 1
Sprinkled all along the beach, they are like stars in the night sky. Little girls in pastel dresses, they seem to dance in the waves, showing off their subtle colours. They are pulled into the sea, then out again. In and out, an endless cycle. 2
They are treasures hidden among the pebbles; abandoned homes, shadows of the sea. If you put one against your ear, you can almost hear it hum. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear songs about the sea, mermaids and sirens, monsters and sailors.3
Pick them up, take them home; if you put them in a jar, it is like trapping a piece of the ocean.4

This is another great entry, I love your descriptions
You wrote it in a way I could picture perfectly in my mind. The second paragraph is beautiful. My guess is of course sea shells, beautiful little things and a wonderful paragraph describing them 
Thanks for your entry and good luck!
