I live in California where the beach is basically mecca. Beach is love, beach is life. I go there to see and be seen. Anyway, I met a guy from Utah today who had never seen the ocean before. It made me think about all the poor individuals who don't live near the coast. How many of you poor saps have never seen the ocean before?

I have never seen the ocean, since I don't live in the US and have never visited it.

I have seen the Mediterranean in different countries, though, and I guess one coast looks just like the other.

On, wait, does the Red Sea count as part of the Indian Ocean or not?

Anyway, my previous point still stands.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen the Atlantic ocean. I lived in DC for 3-4 years but I was dirt broke due to cost of living. I have seen the Pacific at least. I'm a country bumpkin who has never been outside of North America in any case.

I've seen the ocean, been in the ocean, I don't much like the ocean. Cool to look at, but sitting in the sand, wading around in the water, meh.

good to know but the fuckin seaplane guy was full so we gotta take the ferry

gently caress, at least we will maybe have good weather for the vandeberg, this is like our fourth time going to dive it and we always get hosed with weather. visibility has never been good on it and I know the keys diving issues but gently caress, just give us one good vandenberg dive

My county reaches from the Cascade mountain range to the Pacific Ocean. I could easily visit both in a single day.

Or you could spend all day in the mountains, which are cool and good and none of the day in the ocean, which is lame and stupid.

What's the deal with the pacific ocean on the USA/Mexico border? Does that fence go all the way down? What if you swim out and around it? Are there people with guns waiting on the USA side for anyone who looks mexican?

while i also like the ocean and have traveled far to be in it many times, i would like to think california wouldn't turn their mecca into a huge garbage dump and the beach that you access it by into a big hoard of plastic tents and sweaty towels

then again i've never been to actual mecca it probably stinks like 2000 people sweating in a small place, also it has an 80 story hotel that blocks the sun from reaching half of it

maybe mecca was the right word actually

Panama City beach is better than anything in California and that's true

Grace bay is the best beach but if we're talking about American stuff, the emerald coast owns California easily

last time I went the water was swarming with jellyfish and the visibility was so poo poo you'd only see them with a meter or two of warning, so... I hope you get better

I alone can see through the media bias.

I've been to the atlantic, pacific, and lived on the gulf coast. The best beaches Ive seen are in california and florida. Ama.
