Why decide for one of them, if you can have both. I like the ocean and the mountains.
There are many cities which have both.
LA
Nice
Catania
Pescara
Honolulu
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Naples
Sochi
Vancouver
Seattle
Athens
Antalya
Cape town
and many more
Yep. One of the best in Australia for mountains and coast is Hobart, although technically it's at the mouth of the Derwent river.

With these two cities, the mountains are closest to the ocean relatively. Outside of the cities, the other side of the mountains in the Seattle photo has those mountains meet the pacific.
I like both, but I find even though I live near mountains, the ocean is better for me. I have terrible sinus problems, and I live in the Southwest Deserts surrounded by Mountain ranges. I have a terrible time with clogged sinuses, that just seem stuffed up all the time. The air is very dry in the desert. The ocean air is much easier for me to breathe. Only problem is. Where the ocean is, is where the high COL is. Think San Diego.

If you think San Diego is bad then San Francisco will give you a straight up heart attack.

My only concern with seaside living is the possible tsunami.
Is the west coast safe from Tsunami for a possible undersea earthquake in the Pacific Ocean?
I am an ocean person mainly so I would take the sea but I would not like living where it would be more than a few hours drive to the Mountains.
