REEF HOBBYIST... roughly how many miles are you from the nearest Ocean?

[guts11]

Not the permanent home but I’m never more than 15 miles from the ocean. Currently in Montauk, NY

 

[CrimsonMask]

I live on an island. Doesn't leave much for imagination but needless to say very close lol

 

[Rusty Dalton]

884 mile drive for me

 

[Jordan Prather]

Central Illinois think the closest is gulf Shores at 893 miles we normally stay in indian pass about 40 min south of panama city at 989 miles and the farthest I've been is sanibel at 1331 miles

Interested to know who's the CLOSEST and the FURTHEST from the nearest Ocean.

Use Google Maps and post roughly how many miles you are from the nearest Ocean beach.

For me in Cincinnati.....
I believe the closest is Virginia Beach 489 miles but I'd rather do the 690 trip to Pensacola/Destin



.

Water right outside my front door

I don't live far from Montauk either. Love the place.
When I got up from this chair, I saw a fairly large snake slithering near that tree behind me.
I picked it up and brought it a little farther away because if my wife saw it, she would have gotten the horrors and never went there again.

OP here....

I'm SHOCKED on the % of ppl that are pretty close to a beach, be it the Atlantic or the Gulf or the Pacific.

Thumbing thru the responses..... it's a high % of you guys checking that are really close.

Is there a correlation btwn being a Reefer and a close proximity to a beach? Hmmmmm

Or are those Reefers many many miles away just disinterested in posting here. Hmmmmm

Please ADOPT me...

Although hot Latin women would 10000% be the death of me

lol after a while you get used to it. am still trying ( to get used to) after 9 years living here. lol i rather pay attention to my reef. Less expensive ! loll

 

[RoweReef]

Lynbrook, Long Island; 5.1 miles from the Atlantic.

 

[JCrowe86]

Not an ocean but I'm about 7 miles from the Gulf of Mexico

 

[Greybeard]

550 miles as the crow flies to Holly Beach, LA.
Driving, 678 miles to the same location.

Of course, that'd be to the gulf... To a 'real' ocean, that'd be the Georgia coast... 1000 miles, give or take?

 

[Marty's Reef]

About 20 to 25 miles. Depend which beach. Jacksonville, Mickler's Lander, Ponte Vedra, St Augustine

 

[Mike Hettinga]

I'm between Denver and Colorado Springs. 1100 miles +/- to Huntington Beach where I grew up, a mile from the beach. I love it here but I do love the beach. Probably why I wanted a reef tank so bad. My sister still lives in HB and has a FOWLR. And I'm very jealous of all the fish stores near her.

 

[RM24]

350 miles to San Diego from Phoenix

 

[Casket_Case]

I live just outside Atlanta so the ocean is five hours away... but I used to live on the Ridge in Florida and the ocean was forty five minutes away. Right as I moved I started getting into Reef aquariums. Which kinda sucks. So every time I go to the beach in grabbing barnacle clusters and sargassum and flotsam hahaha

 

[Apropor]

One mile from this place!!! I live in Puerto Rico..

Love that place. Spent a lot of time there w Coast Guard.

 

[nereefpat]

I've got to be among the farthest.

If you count the Gulf, it looks like I'm about 820 miles to the closest point 'as the crow flies.' If you don't count the Gulf, I'm about 1200 miles 'as the crow flies' from each coast.

3 blocks, walking distance or my bike when I go kitesurfing to bring my gear !!

Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl....paradise every day, no need to go somewhere on vacation !

200 miles from an inland ocean...Lake Superior.
