I live near the coast. I like it because of the view over the water as well as just generally enjoying being near water. It gets pretty windy at times though especially since I live in a cold country.
I lived in the coast for almost 20 years. Waves were so loud, horrible weather almost every single day of the year and shitty people. Never going back there.
I like living on the coast of central Florida. Previously I lived on the central California coast, and I loved that. BUT with global warming, the coastal areas are prone to more flooding and of course, a large tsunami. So do you you feel lucky?
