Live near an ocean

Lived in Far Rockaway, Queens for a year & a half after I moved out of my parents I lived about 3 blocks away from the beach – the Atlantic Ocean. It was freezing in the wintertime but awesome in the summer. Some days I would come home, drop off my stuff & head to the beach just to stare at the ocean for hours. Very soothing. The sunsets are great. Moved from there nearly 3 years ago. I still miss living near the water.

Lived on the Oregon coast for years, and it’s a beautiful place. Not as much fun during the worst of winter, soooo much rain…but still a nice place!

i’ll be there next week!

I lived in Pacific Beach in San Diego for a couple years, a couple blocks from the ocean. Very laid back area, lots of surfers, beautiful, very walkable. I could walk to the grocery store, walk to the beach, walk to the main drag (Garnet Street) and see all the action. Really good pizza (Liberty Pizza) within walking distance, and lots of other more upscale places to eat. My building manager spent all day growing flowers and keeping the building beautiful. Not even all that expensive.

especially clean ones! Living near an ocean gives you this great feeling of freedom and helps you always have something to do (especially in year-round warm areas).

The little mermaid just seems too appealing to me I guess. I think I’m a fish at heart.

Then it’s damp, smells of rotting fish – (see fantasm #2 “drown in a sea of naked women”) makes that wave noise, costs more than elsewhere, puts you in the path of tsunami and near mudslides…
