    Is shore a Jersey thing or all northeast? My cousins from Jersey always called it the shore - can't recall anyone else doing so. I kind of like it, actually.

    Last week I went home and hopped on a couple of the Boston Harbor's islands. I hadn't done that since I was a little kid, and I had a blast. I loved the view I had of the downtown skyline, and being so close yet so far away, too. Mountains are damn cool, but if you made me pick one or the other, it's the water every time.

    I love the beach for the snorkel / scuba opportunities ... except for when I see jellyfish, then I freak out.

    I love the beach but hate sand so my preference is sitting at pool, overlooking the ocean.

    I would enjoy the beach if it weren't for the sun, sand and salty water.

    I would love the beach even more if there were no jellyfish. I won't go into the water because of them, which can make the beach a very hot place to be.

    I snorkled through a school of tuna once. They all appeared to be my size, or larger. Scared the hell out of me.

    Haha I can only imagine.

    I've snorkeled around plenty of reefs and seen a lot of barracudas, eels, ran into lemon sharks and whenever I see a stingray I dive deep to touch it (sorry, but how you get stabbed in the chest and die from one of those things is beyond me). Those type of opportunities excite me. But when it comes to jellyfish, even if they can't control where they go, I spaz out. I think it's the whole tentacle thing since I have a serious case of arachnophobia.

    I used to live on the beach. One of my favorite hobbies was sitting on my porch with a beer in hand and watching the women in bikinis walking or riding a bike past my place. I greatly enjoyed that place.

    I've lived most of my life within an hour of Lake Superior or Lake Michigan (and sometimes both). There are times when it makes life difficult (lake effect snow), but this time of year, it's wonderful stuff.

    Finding man-sized tuna in snorkeling-depth water must have been quite remarkable.

    Love the beach.
