Do you want to live near the beach?

Calm Dawn in Mindanao - This is photo taken in the early morning at Camiguin, Philippines. The place is so serene during this time of the day.

I always wanted to live in a beach house. I want the calm mornings offered by the sea. Although it is a lot riskier now to live near the beach front, I would still prefer to find a place that have a nice view of the sea. How about you, do you want to live near the sea?

hi maria. yes, given the chance i want to own a beach property someday. it'll be my vacation house every summer and i'll take my daughter, my family, and friends out there so we can frolic in the sand and spend countless hours in the sea. of course, when night comes, we will have a big bonfire party and have an old fashioned cook-out. ahh... life's truly a beach!!!

I love the seas when it is calm but when its stormy its better to live in the cities or any highlands. The beachfront is not the best place to be in.

We live about a couple of kilometers from the beach but we often go there. The beach is one of my favorite places. I can sit on the beach all day with my laptop propped on my knees. I also write the best articles near the beach.

When I was young, our house is situated near the beach. My brother and sisters love swimming there and so am i. Our complexion darken because we swim everyday. The peace and tranquility that only an ocean can bring make my childhood worth remembering. Now that we are living in the city. I yearn for the life in the beach but that's impossible now. It's been a long long time since I've been in a beach. You are correct when you say that living near the beach is dangerous, because of the high tide especially if there's a typhoon. In the past, it happened twice the floor of our house is covered with sea water. That was scary...but inspite of what happened i still love the sea.

I have tried to live near the beach. Around 7 meters from the house yard to the beach in Iba, Zambales. It wasn't a perfect place. It was threatening to see huge waves during strong winds and typhoons. I heard that there were episodes of tidal waves before. From that beach house, I could see the lightning that sparks through the skies and I was thinking down to the seas. But despite of those odd experiences, it's still beautiful to see the blue skies and the steal clear blue sea water of Iba, Zambales during friendly weather.

hmmm...haven't thought of that really. I wouldn't say that I would love to live in a beach house. But a vacation would do. I got use in living in the city...so...staying there permanently would be really different for me.

I don't want to it's really scary for me. What if there's a tsunami?? I don't know, i just don't like to live near the beach but I like a high place where I can see also the view of the beach.
