Just curious who many people here live within a few miles from the coast. I am only about 3/4 of a mile from Long Island sound
-
I wish. Nothing scenic around here. :P
-
I live something like 3 miles inland of the southern coast, UK.
-
I wish.
It's over a two hour drive to the beach.
-
I have always lived at or near sea level never more than 3 miles from the water
-
Me. If I couild afford skydiving this year then I would land in the ocean if I liked...
-
I live about 15 minutes walk from the sea.
-
coasting to the beach.
-
a good fifty miles away, unfortunately. :(
-
From the sea? Around 20 kilometres. But we have a river right next to us. :)
-
oh, coAst! :laugh:
too far for me, sadly. i want to move nearer the coast, but with global warming, i'm iffy about it.
-
I want to move to the mountains
-
I want to move to the mountains
Don't you mean the islands ;)
-
Not a few miles, I live 100 miles away from the coast.
-
About an hour's drive from the coast. With hurricanes and global warming and shit, I eventually want to be nowhere near the sea.
-
My fit body can ride my bike to stonington beach, its really not that far. We live on the coast. I would pass stopn shop, chuckie's gas station, my grandmother's old house, stonington libary, stonington town dock, and they I would be their. Its a fun ride for me.

do you have a special pannier for it?

I am a bit wary of it as well. I don't care too much about living near the beach so I wouldn't mind moving away from it.

Here's an overlay to Google Maps so you can see how deep you'll be under water.

Me too actually. Far enough in the woods where they have to pipe daylight in.

It would be a good idea to head for the hills then. :laugh:

I live about 10 minutes by car from the bay.
-
I have lived my whole life within an hour drive of the Atlantic Ocean.
-
My property values will be going up! The end of my street will be the beach :laugh: Just in time to sell out and move to the mountains

Thanks so much for this....yes, I am pretty much going to have to buy a boat. More disturbingly, our whole airport (in Brisbane) shows as underwater also!
I've lived near the beach all my life...I'll take the risk ;)

Bristol is pretty close to the ocean. Especially if you count that whacking great river as coast :p:

I think buying a boat sounds like a fantastic idea. I always had a dream of buying an oil tanker, or container ship, and having my own floating island. If the ship was big enough, it may be possible to live almost entirely off of it. Grow your own vegetables, milk the cow, choke feed the chicken.

I want to move to the mountains
I live in the mountains about 800 to 900 miles away from the coast.
-
how many people live near the coat?
(don't mind me - i'm on one this morning :laugh: ).
-
I'm about 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean. It's a straight shot down the 55 freeway to Newport Beach from here.
-
When I lived in Florida, I lived within 25 miles from the coast.
Living in South Dakota I am 1500+ miles from the coast now.
-
I live 100 yards from the Atlantic ocean now
-
i work at the docks and live a few miles from the pacific ocean.
-
Its about 10 miles from me atm. Without a car though, it may as well be 100.
-
I live less than a mile from this beach. It looks better in the vid than real life

-
It is a 25 minute drive from my parent's house. They have a condo that is on the beach also (private access). The Atlantic is nice in that the water is warm enough to swim in most of the year. It was warm enough yesterday to wear shorts haha.

I live near Scrap so we're roughly equidistant from sand/H2O.

Sadly you won't get them. :hahaha:
-
I live close to the Ocean but have not seen any of it except SF Bay (while taking the Ferry to Giants games, that's fun) for the past 5 years or so.
-
I don't live really near the ocean but some of Melbourne's suburbs are close to the sea.

What suburb do you live in? I'm down Rowville way.
-
hardly near enough to take pictures.
hatecamera!
-
Right now I live about 200 feet from the beach. We have a private walkway that crosses over the street and goes onto the beach. It is a long drive to UNF, where I take classes.
-
I live just a few km from where the coast used to be.
In the former sea.
Living a few metres below sealevel. And far away from the seacoast.
-
Ah, you're a Dutch! :toporly:
-
I only live a few meters above sea level
-
But you're not a Dutch. :hahaha:
-
No I'm American and like it. Think I'll go out and get a gun :hahaha:
-
:'(
-
:'(
:pwned:

But I'll get one anyway, and that's BRAVER. 8)
-
I'm an 8 hour drive from the Atlantic.
-
There is a tidal marsh at the end of my street that empties into Long Island Sound
-
Ten minute walk from the Indian Ocean. :)

This is scary. Though when there is a real threat, I'll move to my parents', they're quite a long way inland.
-
I live about 20 minutes drive from an ocean beach. We have a couple of different rivers within 5 or 10 minutes drive. And a creek about 10 minutes walk.
Property near the beach here is stupidly expensive. We are going through a "correction" in property prices right now, the only question is how big the correction will be.

I live in a river valley, waaaay inland. Mountain ranges separate us from the seas to the east and west...and hills surround us to the north and south. even the northern sea (by way of glaciers) has evaded this area, stopping just ahead of us, creating some of those hills I mentioned.
I wonder what it's like to live by the sea... :apondering:

I wonder what it's like not to :zoinks:
Might be moving 15 to 20 miles inland in the next year or so, so I might find out

In my imagination, the air must smell like salt or fish if one lives by the sea. Is this true?
-
Along our foreshore, there's a section where all you can smell is bird shit - that's not so nice.
For the most part, it smells like salt.

I can smell the salt at my house when the wind is right and when something bad happens like a fish kill. Down by the water there is a smell at low tide but the rest of the time it's just salty air.
-
Salty air! Interesting!
Last night I had a dream about the ocean... A beach somehow appeared near us, and I parked my friends car somewhere at low tide (not realising the tide would change), and when I returned it had been washed into the vast sea.
The weather was overcast, as if a big rain storm was on the way, and the ocean looked grey. I ran down to the beach to touch the water, but most of the shore was developed so there was only a little strip of beach accessible to folks. There were all kinds of people there, including many homeless people (a crowded beach)....There was one little foot trail in the sand that went through the crowds of people, and I accidentally messed up a sandcastle someone was building when I walked past it. I dont recall smelling anything...I was too focused on the visuals...
-
I love the smell of the sea. I live too far from the sea for that, but...
-
Living near a warm-ish ocean has a moderating effect on temperatures. The last place I lived was about a mile, or just under 2 km, from the ocean, and we didn't even need heating in winter. I think the coldest it ever got there was 6 C, early morning in the middle of winter one time. Normal winter minimums were around 10 Celsius. Didn't need a jacket even. And unpleasantly hot weather was rare as well.
A lot of the smell of the sea comes from things like stagnant saltwater on rock platforms, seaweed, mud flats, pollution. If the ocean is clean and there are sandy beaches without too much tidal variation in water levels, then there isn't much smell at all.

Jack lives in paradise. When the weather isn't paradise, then it's raining.

Is this paradise near to the sea?
-
The place Kayleigh and I used to live in was much closer to the sea. A 10 minute walk. At night it was possible to hear the waves on the beach. It was a comforting sound.
Now all we hear is traffic and sirens.
The foreshore is close and the coast is beyond that but because buildings are in the way, that's probably the reason for not hearing the waves.
-
About 20-25 miles depending upon which roads we take.
-
The ocean is about 5km away from where I am. Would be about a 40 min walk to the nearest beach; 10 minute walk to the estuary, then 30 mins walk along the shoreline that snakes around to said beach. Entirely flat level walk btw, and yes will definitely be back under water one day.
There is also a man made canal 50m away behind the houses across the road (I live on the unfancy edge of a fancy area).
-
There's man made canals near where I live too. And an estuary as well. Rich people have their holiday houses on the canals.
-
I grew up about half an hour from the Gulf Of Mexico and I miss it, mainly the fishing and availability of all the fresh seafood I could want.
I now live in landlocked Indiana. A day's drive to an ocean.
BTW, it is not considered safe to eat what you catch from the rivers and lakes, due to mankind's habits.
:bigcry:
-
Sometimes at night if it's really still - no wind - I can hear the waves on the beach.
-
I have too much surrounding ambient noise to hear the waves properly at night.
-
I hear the sound of the wind. Theoretically, a massive massive storm could have me ending up living in the sea.
Highly highly unlikely. Living behind a set of the most secure dykes. And those are protected by yet another dyke and a blow up temp dam construction.
-
I can see the ocean where I live, but just a touch too far away to hear the waves
-
Welcome back, Eclair! How have you been?
-
HOPE EVERY FUCKING ONE OF YOU DROWNS.

I'm sorry you're hurting. You've come to the right place, though. Tell us more.

Initial setbacks are common. Don't despair just yet. :hug:

I spent 25+ years of my life within a short drive to the ocean in California.
20 years in Santa Barbara County, off and on, and 5 years in Orange County; plus 5 months in San Diego County for Marine Corps boot camp and basic infantry training. :tooledup:
I had lived in Orange County for 2 1/2 years when I started posting here.
Edit: I forgot to mention the 6 months I was in North Carolina in Camp Lejeune going to engineering school. My barracks building was a 1/4 mile from Courthouse Bay.
