Does anyone live near the ocean?

hehe. I grew up five miles from the ocean and sometimes we'd walk to the beach in the summer.
Presently, we live about an hour away.....The coast of Oregon is absolutely gorgeous, prettier than any other coastline I've seen elsewhere in the States. But, the weather is dicey and often gloomy and overcast. I wouldn't live on the coast in Oregon.
It's the water sign in you that brings out the love for the ocean, Patty.
I can believe it. My best experience with the ocean was on the shore at Seaside.
Probably, more like the ocean in me that brings out the love of the ocean "out there."It's the water sign in you that brings out the love for the ocean, Patty.

Well, the positive side is that it is wonderful to go on the beach when the weather is good.
The negative side is that as soon as there is a hint of good weather, you are lucky to find a two square inch space............Though, admitedly, that is the nearest beach.....there are areas whioch people do not go to often - but there is no sand (rocks only), and the winds are very high. (it is on a headland).
So you should. I live a 5-minute walk from the beach & the Irish Sea. It is beautiful.

I live a five minute walk from the Georgia Straights off the west coast of Canaduh. It is so neat living on an island now and away from the "big city". It's neat now because fairly often in the morning the fog comes up from the beach and wafts through the trees. It is very pretty to see, especially around sunrise, though I get up while it is still dark (5-6am).
Yes, same here. Canon Beach (sp?) and Seaside, Oregon are wonderful places. I LOVE the squeaky white sands although the swimming can be a bit dangerous at times.

Done here.
The first house I remember living in was less than half a mile from Escambia Bay, and I've always lived within two or three hours of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, or one of the Great Lakes. I've always thought I'd feel claustrophobic living in Iowa or Kansas, out in the middle of the continent. I like water. If you live in New York or New Orleans, the rivers are really more important to your daily life, but you can get to the gulf or the ocean pretty quickly if you want to.
I've lived on the west coast for almost 23 years now. Right now I live in a little mountain town just outside of Santa Cruz, Ca. (officially dubbed "Surf City USA" just last year).
Strange thing is, like most people I know around here, I'm lucky if I make it to the beach 3 times in a year (tourists--more of these pesky creatures every summer).
When I lived in Santa Barbara I spent almost every night sleeping on the beach, basically just used my apartment as a place to keep my stuff.
(sigh) Right now I'm getting ready to move back to the midwaste for awhile and I'm already feeling land-locked.

I use to live in San Diego. A whopping 2 blocks from the beach ( that is to say, one block from the buildings and sand and then an estimated 1/2 to 1 block from the water itself). I could hear the waves breaking and smell the ocean in my livingroom. I miss that so much. Want to move back there so badly.

These are some pictures of a state park just a few minutes by water or road from where I live.
If you click on the boat ramp shot you can see the point where I live to right. By boat you can go around that point and be close to my home in minutes. It is reached by a road with no outlets and is mostly older homes on dead end streets surrounded by woods. I live on a corner lot and can look across the bay from the corner. There was a large buck standing at the corner just a few days ago.
The tourist go home after September and the locals have it pretty much to ourselves until spring break except for the "snowbirds".

Was that while you were in the Navy? San Diego has to be one of the best spots to get assigned.
It's beautiful. Thank you.
