You can see the beaches too from up high in the mountains. Also, rock climbing!

i would rather have the mountains because i love nature and the mountains has more of a diverse habitat and animals and mountains are more mysterious than the beach

Safer during Tsunamis ; )

Let's compare beaches with stuck up bikini wearing people and the mountains with no one. In the mountains one can enjoy nature, the beach one can enjoy silicon. Laying on the beach one can see hills in pairs, but there is no mountain. In the mountains one is without gold diggers, only pan handlers.

Real or fake, in the end is the choice between these two. Value or values (ethics/morals); one there is many, the other none. To stand alone is better than to stand for nothing. To the mountains I go.

living in mountains, I do love the adventures I have here. but I do love the water. and the beaches. but I don't know how to compare them anyway. HELP!!!!

Mountains are beautiful to look at, and who would want to look at the same old plain sand and water? Plus I would consider canyons as mountains. I hate flat land - it is so monotonous. Sure there are dangerous animals and the threat of starvation in the mountains as well as the beach, but at least you won't involutarily drift away to the middle of nowhere or drown in the mountains - unlike the beach.

I prefer the mountains because of their serenity. I also appreciate the cool atmosphere.
