When it comes to these to geographic classifications, I do not hesitate. I was born in the summer, and prefer warmer weather. For these basic two reasons I prefer the beach.

In the ideal circumstance, the beach is preferable because more often than not it’s an enjoyable backdrop especially when it is sunny and warm outside. The water is always pleasant and a couple of degrees cooler than the air temperature.

The one drawback that I find with the beach is that the sand tends to get in your shoes when you walk on it. That is the one unpleasant feeling that I encounter whenever I go to the beach.

Notwithstanding that one drawback, i would go with the beach over the mountains 60% of the time.
