The Value of Ocean-Side Living

(updated August 08, 2024)

Ocean-side living is a dream for many who love the ocean and everything it offers. For those that love it, It often provides peace and tranquility that cannot be found elsewhere. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore can be soothing, and the smell of saltwater can be refreshing. It also offers breathtaking sea views, a constant source of inspiration and wonder.

Aside from the scenic views, ocean-side living provides a unique lifestyle different from living in any other location. Many activities, such as swimming, surfing, boating, and fishing, can be enjoyed right at one’s doorstep. These activities provide a chance to connect with nature and appreciate this miraculous treasure. Living near the beach can benefit one’s health as the air is fresh. It has also been known to boost mood and reduce stress.

Living by the ocean can also be a great way to build a strong community. People who live by the ocean are often passionate about their surroundings and share a common love for the sea. This creates a strong sense of belonging, and it’s not uncommon for neighbors to become good friends.

Additionally, living by the ocean can offer access to delicious seafood restaurants and local attractions, such as aquariums or marine sanctuaries, that provide educational and entertaining experiences for the whole family. Overall, ocean-side living offers a unique and enriching experience that is hard to replicate elsewhere.

I love traveling to different beaches in the United States and can find something unique about all I have seen.

From the shells, to the white sand and green water, to the storm, and ending with the beautiful day.

Rocky Terrain

While the water is quite cold in Central and Northern California due to the Pacific Ocean, the skies are usually very crisp blue, and often you can find me staring out at the beauty! Not always, but often these beaches are likely to offer a rocky terrain, and if it is a hot day, the sand will be super hot. Make sure you take shoes of some kind.

The East Coast beaches offer warm water that you can walk right into, thanks to the Atlantic Ocean…and they have beautiful light-to-white sand beaches. Often, the light sand is cool enough to walk barefoot.

The beaches in Hawaii are gorgeous! No doubt about it. The water is almost too warm, and the scenery is breathtaking. Be cautious in the water at all beaches! Some beaches can present themselves with a strong undertow.

My favorite beaches are on the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Destin Beach (or Miramar Beach) are a few of my choices. In Florida’s Panhandle, along the Gulf Coast, the name “The Emerald Coast” has developed. This is where Destin/Miramar beaches are. Here the water is a beautiful emerald green and is just stunning! The beaches on the Emerald Coast are beautiful and healing, especially with the green water against the white sand! 🙂I wouldn’t mind living there one day! 

What beach do you enjoy? Are you a west-coast or east-coast fan…or maybe Hawaii?
