Do you recommend living on the beach?

I loved living at the beach when I was in Panama City Beach, FL. My house was directly across the street from the beach with great views out over the Gulf of Mexico from my deck. You do have to accept the traffic and crowds during beach season.

There are positives and negatives.

There's going to be sand in your life, and in your house, no matter how well or often you clean. Anything metal--including big-ticket items like kitchen appliances and cars--will rust out far quicker. Tourists will get in the way of doing the things you need to do, clogging roads and restaurants, holding noisy parties, filling beaches.

The positive? You live on the freakin' beach!

Not at high tide or during hurricane season.

No

Hmm! I prefer living on a lovely yacht and pick whatever coast I like

A better answer was found in the

Titled: The Stranger in the Woods.
The extraordinary story of the Last
True Hermit, by Michael Finkel. Its
about how to live 27 years only 3
minutes from the nearest occupied
housing without death or detection.
When asked for the date it started,
the response was: "What year was
the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster ?"
