How far away is the ocean to where you live?

[skylizard]

About 3.5 hours. Too far

 

[Caseheidi]

We are around 65 miles to the beach through a coastal range of Mountains, so it takes about an hour 15 to get there.

 

[Andtototoo]

We live in the Midwest. As the crow flies, it's over 1000 miles to the nearest sight of the ocean.

 

[minkydog]

250-350 miles depending on whether we go SE to Savannah or SW to Destin. We go one way or the other 3-5 times per year.

 

[Atlas722]

I live in Toledo, Ohio, so I'd say that it's over six hundred miles to the Atlantic coast.

 

[beachbunny]

I live right on the Pacific Ocean.

 

[TNS_Tinkerbell]

About a 20 minute drive... Live on the wet west coast.

Ten minute to lovely Palm Beach County beaches. It's nice but I never go. I grew up a few towns south of Asbury Park on the central Jersey Shore, where most of us are as pasty white as our Irish grandmas. A lot of local only go at night and during hurricanes. The tv show "Jersey Shore" was shot further south and I'm pretty sure they were not "From the Shore" they were "Down the Shore" or "Bennies" (see, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_(slang).
Locals would spend the summer looking for a parking spot and kicking drunk bennies off the lawn so I hate when people think of that when they hear "Jersey Shore". It is so much cooler than that, lol

3.5 hours.

Used to live 20 min. away. I miss it. A lot!

I live 2 blocks from the ocean. Our house is on a lagoon and we can walk 2 blocks to the ocean or 2 blocks to the Barnegat bay. At night i can hear the ocean and its wonderful!!!

 

[U2_rocks!]

It's about 7 minutes drive to the Caribbean sea and about 25 - 30 minutes to the Atlantic ocean.

 

[SC Minnie]

3.5 hours to the Atlantic. We much prefer Hilton Head over Myrtle Beach and they are both about the same distance from us.

We are also about 3 hours from the mountains, so the best of both worlds.

OP If I am right based on fees, my daughter goes to this beach for high school. The entrance is about 8 miles from us. The closest sand is a Bay beach that is about 2.5 miles from home.

 

[Drew Sailbum]

Walk out the door and there it is... warm, tropical, clear Caribbean Sea.

Other side of the highway. At night, like a poster a few posts up, you can hear it loudly (during the day, I hear cars on hwy 101). Love to sleep with the windows open.

 

[bellanotte10]

If there were no roads, 11 miles. But my favorite beach is about 45 minutes away due to those darn roads. Closest beach is about 20 minutes.

 

[Lovin' Disney]

I live about 20 HOURS away from the atlantic ocean.

I do live about a half hour from Lake Superior, though. But it's just not the same!

 

[luv2sleep]

A 45 minute drive. I live in southern California.

 

[lucas]

We live 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

And, we never - ever - go to the beach.

Lucky!!
