Would you rather vacation at the beach or in the mountains? Why?
I prefer beach. I like to walk on the soft, wet sand with the cool breeze flowing in my face. I like to stare into the blue see that stretches as far as the eyes can see and further beyond.
In the Winter you're skiing or snowboarding, in the Summer you're hiking, mountain biking, or sat in hot tub.
There's also nothing to say a mountainous area can't be on a coastline with cliffs and stuff... i.e. Amalfi Coast in Italy, no beaches, just mountains to the sea.
I’ve never really like the beach as a holiday spot. Nice place to take photos but that’s about it for me. The mountains would be a lot more interesting.
