This sentence is a compound sentence because it contains two independent clauses. These are joined with the conjunction "and" and a comma is used before the "and" to join the two independent clauses. A simple sentence would just have one clause like this: "Danielle loves to go to the beach." This sentence also contains what could be a second simple sentence, "She enjoys spending her days sunbathing." A complex sentence would contain subordinate clauses like the following: "In the summertime, Danielle loves to go to the beach, and she enjoys spending her days sunbathing while catching a view of the ocean and listening to the relaxing waves."
