I used to go to the beaches in Florida a lot, but I don't really care for it.
Especially after the jellyfish infestations and whatnot : P
 
I live in a Peninsula, so um, YES! I can't imagine my life without the ocean. I live minutes away from tons of beaches, the air here smells like salt water.. I really couldn't live without being by the ocean.

Is the water always as pretty as it looks in movies or in pictures?
Or does it just depend on the place? I know some oceans are the prettiest shade of turquoise.
I feel dumb asking that, lol...

I believe you, lol.
I'm actually surprised 4 other people have never been either.

I always find it beautiful, when it's cloudy, sunny, windy, rainy, winter, spring, fall... Though, if there's a big storm it turns a bit brown and that's not the most beautiful.
 
A lot. While I was visiting the Philippines, the ocean was unavoidable. Here in the States I have often headed out to Newport or other beaches for fishing, which would take about an hour or two driving on the freeway. I am planning to visit Oceanside via train.
 
I live in CT (state in the US) so yep. I can't imagine spending a single summer without going to the beach at least once.
 
I love the beaaach~!

Even if it's just walking around on a rocky beach, I love being near the water and smelling the fresh air.


Swimming in the warm ocean with a soft sand beach is the best, though. <3 My favorite is a tossup between Cancun and one of the Hawaiian islands.



As for oceans in general, my parents live pretty close to the Pacific Ocean, so we'd drive out there all the time. Even after I moved out to Seattle, I'm not exactly far from the ocean.

Considering I used to live relatively close to the beach, I went quite a bit in my childhood years, after leaving that area of the country I haven't visited the beach as often. As a child I enjoyed it greatly, now I don't really care for it as much. I've noticed a sort of deep sort of "obsession" where I live about love for the beach, I guess because it's a rural place away from the beach. I'd rather have the woods and the mountains than the beach personally.
 
yes i love it but i also really like rivers and lakes and mountains, something abt that fresh mountain air and skiing
 
yep, there's a lot of beaches here. i used to be really scared of beaches and hated it, etc. but i got used to it and i love going there now <: i hope you go someday /// soon!
 
I live half hour drive from the beach :3

I also holiday every year at a caravan park just off the beach.
 
I have lived on the beach for 21 years (only recently moved inland). It's wonderful. I love seafood, love the ocean, love sand, love everything about it. I especially miss waking up early to go 'crabbing' (collecting blue crab to eat). We would sometimes catch 40 crabs within an hour!
 
I live close to the Iceland Black Beach, I go all the time. Very cold, though, so I don't see many people there a lot. :)
 
yeah, i live right by the coast so i go to the beach a lot. well, not to swim. mostly to skip rocks because its seattle and its freezing
 
I'm from Florida and lived within walking distance to the closest beach. It's kind of awful how often I went (or lack thereof.) You really don't do that kind of stuff until people are in town visiting.
 
haha, I've lived in California, Florida and Guam for all my life so yes!
 
I live near the beach, maybe twenty minute drive. I never liked the beach for some reason. Maybe because it's pretty crowded. I did take my dog to the dog beach but he doesn't like the water.
 
I've been to the ocean before. I don't like it too much, tbh. I like lakes. I live right by Lake Tahoe and I go up there every summer, it's jolly good fun.
