Yeah, I live in Quebec, so there's a beach very close to my hometown.
But, it's not really the ocean tho, it's a very large river. x)
 
Yeah, I've been to the sea, also to the ocean. But mostly to the Dutch coast, even though I live at the other side of the country. Still its only about 2 hours away, so its not bad.
I prefer swimming in lakes, I prefer going to the beach in spring, fall or winter, just to walk. I also walked over the Wadden, a sea area where you can walk until the water rises again. Its impressive, silent, reflecting sunlight on tne wet sands, panoramic views. You can actually WALK to an island.
But I did just a beginners course, next time I'll walk to an island.

So yeah many beautiful things around the sea, but personally, I prefer the forest.
 
i feel bad for the people who said no. visiting the ocean is such an amazing experience, especially when you're in a secluded area with the waves crashing and echoing across the forest.
 
I can't believe I finally got to go to the beach and feel real sand. :)
I got to stand in the water too! (I dropped my shoes and almost lost them in the tide; my boyfriend said I had one job, lol.)
The water was really cold and I wasn't allowed to wander too much because of the red flag warning, but still.
My boyfriend took me on a day trip to Galveston, a good 2 hours away from where we were visiting, and it was so lovely.
I got to ride my first ferry and I left with so many seashells.
I can't get over how many shells there were; I had to control myself to not take too many home.
 
i live about 1km from the beach so i walk there allll the time (only in summer the beach also happens to be the southern ocean so its prettty freakin cold in the winter!)
 
I would love to live near a secluded beach with a long stretch of sand where I can admire my time without being with anyone else. Just relaxing and listening to the beautiful sounds of nature .. <3


with internet access of course

I've been to beaches in the UK...But I wouldn't recommend it.
They feel more like sewage dumps than tropical paradises and it's barely ever the right weather for it. The sea is often a dirty brown color as well.


I've been to the beaches in Spain when I was younger (Benidorm probably). I remember it being a lot better, except I wouldn't go into the sea in case a shark got me...

I used to go to the beach a lot when I was a kid/teenager. My brother and I nearly drowned in the Bahamas about 5 years ago. I would like to say I'm not traumatized, but I don't see myself swimming in the ocean anytime soon >u>;;
 
I love going to the beach <3 A lot of the British coast is nice, believe it or not :p

I've also been to Blackpool but I think it's like the Irish Sea vomited on the shore.
 
I've been to a few beaches. Personally, I love to just sit by the beach, read and listen to the waves. I went a few months back when the weather good (as everyone has been saying, those UK beaches..) with a few friends and it was great.
We have specially looked after beaches by the First Trust or whatever so it's lovely and clean. Oh, one year I stood on a reaver fish and my toe swelled up. That was a good year.
 
I'd love to go to a beach but I've never been and it just looks like people lying on the sand tweeting and stuff like what's the point
 
I live in California, so yeah. multiple times. I'm not a beach person though so I haven't gone in years.
 
Living in Florida it's always bewildered me that people have lived their entire lives and never seen the beach. With that said I'll probably die without seeing snow so I mean....

snow is just ice so you aren't missing out on much
just like go into your freezer, crunch up a bunch of ice and throw it up into the air. wallah, snow.
 
I have but not in over a decade or two!:eek:
