I live close to the sea, I hear it at night if it is stormy.

I see and smell it every day and I work within a stones throw of it.

Lucky lucky me ..... mind the down side is my house windows and car are very often coated in a rime of salt and it rots the cars.

Have a place close to St Ives, some of my happiest memories and a few of my saddest

I think there is something intrinsic in all of us that makes us want to live by water whether the sea, river loch or lake. I know I wouldn't want to live anywhere landlocked now.

We live 5 minutes away from the sea and do you know something ?

We never bother with it .. strange but true.

5 minutes away is Newbiggin by the Sea,then Druridge Bay, Amble, Warkworth, Alnmouth, Seahouses, Beadnell, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh then Berwick upon t, then 15 minutes in the other direction and we're into rural Northumberland or we can go 20minutes down the coast and we have Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, North Shields ..

Holland !

Nothing better than being able to hear the sea when lying in bed, not being able to sleep.

Nothing more healthy than sea air.

Nothing more fun than battling with waves.

Nothing more delicious than seafood.

... and "tits out" in the summer.

( sorry for expressing a little bias here )

Damnit, now I've a got an ambition in life, get thee to the seaside.

Fareham

South coast here ... about 5 minutes from the Solent, one of the busiest, most interesting stretches of water anywhere in the world. There's always something to see, from Ocean liners and Royal Navy warships to hovercraft and racing yachts. I never, ever get tired of it.

I lived inland for 5 years once but just missed the sea too much and had to come back to my favourite stretch of coastline

We're about 7 miles inland of the sea.

As a kid i used to live in eastbourne and loved the fish and chips. Fish fresh off a trawler is so much better.
