+ You have to worry about hurricanes in many coastal US areas.
+ The Ocean oftentimes has odors
+ Flooding
+ Oil Spills now

beach for sure, I've sometimes fantasied about living in a house boat one of these days. I don't want to live anywhere non coastal, just not for me, but having a mountain backdrop would be cool also.
Mountains. For some reason I associate beach settings with sloppiness and humidity and feeling too lazy to do anything. Lol. But beaches can be beautiful.
