…Oh I do like to be by the sea! 

Ok, the question is how far are you from the nearest beach? 🏖

The closest beach from here is 2.5 hours away 🙁 boo hoo…

I do love a beach walk 😀😆

I'm about an hour away one of my goals is to live near the coast 

Hoping to retire to Spain or Cyprus in next 10 years

I'd say about 8 miles to my nearest beach. Love the beach during daytime; but sea freaks me out at night time. Don't mind looking at it from afar like the picture above but couldn't stand on a boardwalk and look out to sea. . .too spooky and sinister!!!!

About 10 miles.

we are about twenty minutes away, we often share a bag of chips and eat them in the car looking out to sea

Sounds great, especially so close too. I do like a walk along the beach.

I used to live about 25 minutes from the beach, but now I live 1hr and 25 away.

I do however live very close to a river and a canal, about 5 minutes walk. I find being close to water and nature to be very soothing, definitely good for reliving any stress I'm feeling

A fun little fact

I believe it is correct but may be wrong, it was on QI and I know they have got things wrong before...

I live in the only county in the country that does not border another county with a beach.

i.e. I am in the only county in the country where you have to drive through 2 other counties before you get to a beach.

I wonder if anyone can guess which it is?

SueHeath

My brain not working great today @66Mustang can't give you an answer unless i find a map ha ha xx

SueHeath

Got any clues for us @66Mustang i really don't want to cheat ha ha xx

Alex_Alumni

Is it Rutland @66Mustang?

66Mustang

No not Rutland

I've just had a look and seems there is at least one other county that is 2 counties away from the coast so I think the fact was probably wrong.

I am Bedfordshire

Alex_Alumni

Ahh I should have known, that's interesting @66Mustang I wonder what the others are?
