Which do you prefer, the ocean or a lake?

Love the Ocean and it's beauty. Just to be able to sit there and watch the water and look for Whales, etc. is a pleasure especially in the sound. The sounds of the water is also quite relaxing as well.

I also prefer the ocean... I live near the ocean ..like about 5 minutes walking. I love to walk over the beach and hear the waves.... I go to the ocean at least three times a week... it relaxes me!!

Of course, living 1/2 mile from the beach, I prefer the beach. We love o go there and watch the waves. It's so relaxing. We've started taking Graysen there and he loves it. He wans to march right into the water.

I love them both. But, the ocean is a bit nicer, as it is calming and smells so fresh and salty.

I have only been to the ocean once in my life. We drove from PA to FL to visit some family and when we went to the beach a rouge wave came in and knocked my husband and I head over tin cups, and tried to pull my handy capped sister-in-law into the ocean wheel chair and all! So I would have to say I prefer a lake. The ocean was just too overwhelming to this ole land dweller! :)

I like the ocean,I like to get up early in the morning barefoot, and take a nice long walk along the shore. The sound of the waves takes all the stress from me.

I like the lake becouse i live near about four of them ,ive only been to the ocean about 5 times but i love it there to.

I love the ocean, growing up in a small coastal town I have always been drawn to it

I also perfer the ocean. The sand is always great at the beach...as long as it isn't steaming hot and it doesn't go in your pants. I also love the smell and sound. It is just really peaceful/calming! The shells are great at the beach also! I love looking for shells at the beach!! :D So, I definatley would pick the ocean over the lake!! :)

I love both, but I prefer the Ocean. There is nothing like a very early morning walk on the beach, before anyone else is out. The sounds of the waves, the smells, the breeze... I love to just watch the ocean; it is truly one of God's most mystical creations. Just watch and imagine what is out there, beyond our view... Imagine what lives in the ocean, on the bottom of the ocean floor. It's amazing that the ocean is so beautiful yet has so much power and potential for harm.

Most definately the ocean. Only been twice- Amazing. I've been to numerous lakes.. they are great for day trips and boating or ski-doo's. But nothing beats the peacefullness of the ocean. Even at high tide and when the waves are crashing in. You feel like you are one with nature. To feel the wet sand or hot dry sand under your bare feet- to feel the waves take you out in the water farther and then back in to shore. The ocean is the best! I cannot wait to go back this Spring!

Same here. I agree with you. Even I like the sound ocean waves, they are very soothing. Lakes are also cool but not so soothing.

I prefer Lake. In chicago, there is Lake Michigan. u will forget ocean wen u will see lake michigan.

I love both although i have only seen the ocean one time in my life. I would prefer the lake though for recreational purposes though. I believe there is less violent creatures hahaha lol.

The ocean, love the sound and smell of it. I live close to a lake, it looks murky and smells fishy.

I enjoy both I like to go to the lake in our city. But if you go to Cal. the ocean is so Blue and pretty.

There is nothing like the sand and the sound of the waves hitting in, the lake can be calming but I much prefer the salt water and sun.

ocean, no doubt about that! lake to me looks cold and so quiet. i prefer the sound of the waves and its flirty rolls :)

Well, I've grown up in the inner part of a very long fjord, so I prefer that. the ocean water is so salty, and lakes are muddy - the fjord is neither. :)

I perfer the ocean.
