I live by the beach. I never go sunbathing or swimming there though. I love the sound of the ocean crashing on the shoreline, and the big, big horizon. I love the openess of it; whenever I am inland for more than a few days I start to miss it and feel a bit landlocked.
However, probably because I live here, I really do like to go up into woodsy areas. There is something very peaceful to me about the sounds of wooded areas. The sound of brooks, birds, and especially of wind blowing through the trees is quite calming to me.
