I'm an 8 hour drive from the Atlantic.

There is a tidal marsh at the end of my street that empties into Long Island Sound

Here's an overlay to Google Maps so you can see how deep you'll be under water.

This is scary. Though when there is a real threat, I'll move to my parents', they're quite a long way inland.

I live about 20 minutes drive from an ocean beach. We have a couple of different rivers within 5 or 10 minutes drive. And a creek about 10 minutes walk.

Property near the beach here is stupidly expensive. We are going through a "correction" in property prices right now, the only question is how big the correction will be.

I live in a river valley, waaaay inland. Mountain ranges separate us from the seas to the east and west...and hills surround us to the north and south. even the northern sea (by way of glaciers) has evaded this area, stopping just ahead of us, creating some of those hills I mentioned.

I wonder what it's like to live by the sea...  :apondering:

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

I wonder what it's like not to :zoinks:
Might be moving 15 to 20 miles inland in the next year or so,   so I might find out

In my imagination, the air must smell like salt or fish if one lives by the sea. Is this true?

Along our foreshore, there's a section where all you can smell is bird shit - that's not so nice.

For the most part, it smells like salt.

I can smell the salt at my house  when the wind is right and when something bad happens like a fish kill.  Down by the water there is a smell at low tide but the rest of the time it's just salty air.
