Have you really never seen the ocean? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. owlwings (5081)3 years ago

Since I live in a country where you can never be more than 60 miles from the sea, I have often seen it and love it. It occurred to me that many people here live a very long way from the ocean and may never have seen it.

If you have never seen the ocean, is it something you would love to do one day or are you quite content never to see it? Some people I have talked with have even said that they would be afraid to see the sea!

It is one of my long time dreams. I have never seen the ocean and I really want to. One of my friends said why its just water. Well not to me. I think it would be cool to walk in the salty water and maybe see a dolphin or whale. Someday I will get my wish and I will see the ocean

Your friend has no soul! (Or maybe they were having a bad day:) ) Yes, it is 'just water' - and salt, of course - but it is water doing something quite different from the way we see it elsewhere (except, perhaps, on a very large lake).
I hope that one day you will see your dream come true!

So we can assume that you don't want to see it?

I am 32 years old and not saw any ocean so for and I don’t have any desire to see ocean. However I like rivers. I have a river nearby and I often visit there with family.

I live in the USA where you can be thousands of miles from the sea, but NOT ME! In 68 years I have never been more than an hours drive and have spent thousands of beautiful hours there. We owned a mobile home at the coast for 20 years and spent summers and weekends fishing, digging clams and catching crab, as well as just walking the shore and picking up treasure.

I've seen them, but I never get to see enough. I live in Iowa which is in the middle of the US. A lot of people who live here have never been to either coast. I like the Pacific coast best, because it isn't all built up and commercialized like the east coast is.

I have never seen it. However, I am also one of those that doesn't want to either. It just doesn't appeal to me. It's a large mass of something that can kill you, filled with things that want to eat you. My husband thinks I am nuts, he so wants to go see an ocean some time in our lives. I keep telling him to take the girls and go. Just be sure to send me a post card, LOL.

I just have to laugh at that description. Too good to forget in a hurry!


myLot reputation of 89/100. getnbuy (1020)  3 years ago

YOu are missing out on a lot. YOu don't have to go IN the water. You can just sit and watch the waves. Or, you can beach comb and find shells, and polished rocks. The most beautiful ocean I have ever seen is in Hawaii. I know a lot of people scuba dive and boogy board, but it is very soothing to just sit and take in the beauty and hear the crash of the waves.Don't go to Honolulu, though. It is too commercial. Another beautiful place is the Oregon coast. There is a beach there called Agate Beach where you can just pick up agates on the sand. There are sea lion caves, too.

I grew up near the ocean in California. anyone who has not seen it should make it a priority. My husband and I love the ocean and vacation on the Oregon coast often. There is an old family joke about one of my uncles. He came from Idaho to California and when he gazed as far as he could see, to the horizon he said cynically,"I thought it would be bigger"! Well, at least it was a joke in my family. You don't have to laugh.

Where I live in Norfolk UK, at the back of my house is a small tidal river, Just over the road is the docks and 10 miles down the road is the beach. So I am very close to the sea.
I go to the beach nearly every week so i think i'm fairly lucky.

I live 20 minutes from the beach. I love watching the moonlight reflect off the waves coming in at night.
