How far do you live from the beach.

Postby Old Guys Rule » Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:12 pm

It seems that a lot of people on this forum live a ways away from the beach. How far do you live away.

I am 15 minutes which I thought was bad until I here the woes of others.

45mins to the nearest beach (which is pretty much almost always FLAT) a good 5/6hr drive to surfable sea in cornwall/devon.

Probably an hour and a quarter for some mushy surf, but never go there because if its on it will be bigger and better further north 96 miles and an hour and three quarters.
