Growing up that close to the water, it's so weird. It becomes this living presence that you're used to always having with you. I miss the ocean more than I miss some people in my life!
I also count myself lucky, though, because Northeastern Florida has such rich plant life to go along with the ocean. Our house had live oaks! A block from the beach! IDK, I've been to other beaches and it just hasn't been the same. (My icon is a perfect representation of what it looked like in my hometown.)
Now I think my ideal place to live would be the SF/Santa Cruz area, because it has this awesome mix of the beach and the mountains, all within minutes of each other.
