pshaw_raven I love the coast. I like deltas, riverbanks, lakesides, and beaches. I prefer to live anywhere near water rather than some place landlocked. And actually the first thing I though of when I got this particular prompt was this set of paintings by Mars Tokyo. I always liked maps, too.
Obviously I live pretty close to some famous beaches in Florida. The problem with "famous" beaches is they're always full of people. By the way, if you leave trash on the beach, or burn wooden pallets and leave the nails, you are terrible. Anyway. We also have some quieter, less heavily-trafficked places. Jacksonville isn't famous as a "lay out on the beach" destination like Daytona so we don't have the tourist problems.
Iceland, of course, has some absolutely magnificent coastlines. Be forewarned if you rent a car, though, they may charge you extra for sand damage if you visit a beach. As if the entire island isn't made of volcanic sand.
We've got some trips planned for late summer and fall, but I'd like to go back to the Florida Gulf coast sometime soon. The Gulf is nice, even if it is being ruined by agricultural runoff and oil drilling.
