I live in mountains and I do love the beach. Always nice to come home, though.

Mountains have lakes without sharks or jellyfish or sea urchins...

As much as I LOVE being in and around water, I voted mountains. I just think they possess more natural beauty. Also, I hate sand.

I love both but a beautiful Hawaiian beach will always be my first choice.

You never hear anyone saying "You got a purty mouth" on the beach.

I love the beach. Walking along the wet sand during sunrise and sunsets, collecting shells...playing in the warm water...scuba diving and snorkeling. I own more bathing suits than I do jeans!

I can get to the mountains in less than an hour for a weekend getaway when I am tired of the beach...which is almost never.

I like being more active

I live in the mountains, so life is pretty damned fine.

Honestly I like both.
I grew up in the mountains.
Now I live on the beach.
To me they both have their merits.

To be honest I live in the Pacific Northwest and we're just surrounded by ocean water im not a big fan of saltwater it's very cold and (in my opinion) smells bad I much prefer the mountains cuz that's where the snow is in the winter and I like snowboarding

Both, beaches more so.

Sandcastles, visual waves, wildlife, sounds, sun tan, smells, most of all sexy bathing suits and walking artwork.

Depends on the mountains.

I hated the big mountains like in Colorado. I feel at home and ease in the Ozark mountains, though.

I hate the beach too. Cannot stand the feel of sand and it never goes away. Plus when I was 12 I went to Florida and got caught in the undertow while body surfing and almost drowned. Haven't set foot near the ocean since then

I'm prejudiced as I live in the mountains.

Mountains. No question.

Mountains nearly every time. But I'll take the beach when the waves are crashing and the wind is howling and there's no one else there.

I'll take the beach, thank you!

I grew up in a beach town was in the coast guard and spent most of my life living near a beach. Today I live In the Shenandoah Valley surrounded by mountains and I love every minute of it

To me, the top of a mountain and being at an ocean beach illicit the same reaction. It's almost spiritual.

You see out to the horizon, and you realize that this is just a tiny speck of nothing in the middle of a world that is far more vast than our brain is ready to process. That world is just a tiny speck, invisible in the cosmos. It makes you feel ... I don't know, connected? Like your problems are insignificant, your worries pointless.

The beach wins for me for one reason. Have you ever slept by the seaside? Kick open a window or the door to your balcony and fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing into the shore? I've never slept better.

Also mountains are fucking cold, lol.

I say beach but I preferred ocean. The ocean at night with no light pollution revels a sky like none other.

I really like both for different reasons.

I love tidepools, but I sunburn too easily to like the beach. Of course the mountains get lots of bad weather, but they also get lots of flowers and animals.

I hate the beach. It's hot. I don't like wearing swimsuits. You get sand all over.

Shark Week is enough for me. Take me to the timberline!

I’m definitely a mountain girl. My grandparents had a house on a small lake in the NC mountains when I was growing up and I hated it there because there was no phone or tv reception. Boring. As I’ve gotten older I realize how wonderful that sounds and I get why all the adults in my life loved it there.

Love the ocean, but the mountains call me.
