× Recently I visit a place near the beach and just relax sitting by the pool area and let unwind my mind and rejuvenate internally as I love the way ocean and sand feels together.

✓ Recently I have been visiting a place near the beach and just relaxing, sitting by the pool area, letting my mind unwind and rejuvenate internally as I love the way the ocean and sand feel together.

The sentence uses simple present tense 'visit' and 'relax' to describe recent activities, which is incorrect. The present perfect continuous tense 'have been visiting' better expresses recent ongoing actions. Also, 'feels' should be 'feel' because 'ocean and sand' is plural. Additionally, 'let unwind my mind' is incorrect; it should be 'letting my mind unwind' to maintain parallel structure and correct verb form.

× I love the way ocean and sand feels together.

✓ I love the way the ocean and sand feel together.

The subject 'ocean and sand' is plural, so the verb should be 'feel' instead of 'feels'. Also, the definite article 'the' is needed before 'ocean' to specify it.

× Usually I go out with my friends to just sit and relax and connect with each other on a deeper level because most of the time we are busy with our work and studies.

✓ Usually I go out with my friends to just sit, relax, and connect with each other at a deeper level because most of the time we are busy with our work and studies.

The phrase 'on a deeper level' is commonly expressed as 'at a deeper level' to indicate the extent or degree of connection.

× We don't get time to get to know each other and what's going in our lives.

✓ We don't get time to get to know each other and what's going on in our lives.

The phrase 'what's going' is incomplete; it should be 'what's going on' to correctly express ongoing events or situations.

× Since I often go out for evening walks at the nearby park, I usually listen to music as it acts as my companion and it helps me feel calm and makes me feel tranquility.

✓ Since I often go out for evening walks in the nearby park, I usually listen to music as it acts as my companion and helps me feel calm and peaceful.

The correct preposition for locations like parks is 'in' rather than 'at'. Also, 'makes me feel tranquility' is awkward; 'helps me feel calm and peaceful' is more natural.

× I would say that music is a mood booster.

✓ I would say that music is a mood booster.

This sentence is grammatically correct and needs no correction.

× For me, relaxing means quiet and peacefulness, so I often meditate with a very calm music in the background or either I go to the beach where I could hear the wall waves clashing into the sand and just the breeze and music to rejuvenate me.

✓ For me, relaxing means quiet and peacefulness, so I often meditate with very calm music in the background or I go to the beach where I can hear the waves crashing into the sand and just the breeze and music to rejuvenate me.

The phrase 'with a very calm music' is incorrect because 'music' is uncountable and does not take 'a'. It should be 'with very calm music'. Also, 'wall waves' is incorrect; it should be 'waves'. 'Clashing' is better replaced with 'crashing' to describe waves hitting the sand. 'Either' is unnecessary here and should be removed for clarity.
