By the Sea?

[Scythe13]

I was thinking more along the same lines as NR and MoleT. Close enough to be able to make a quick journey down there, do a little fishing and shore scavenging, and then back home to fertile lands, unaffected by the ocean spray and the alike.

For me, somewhere high up would be ideal. There are some lovely places by Woolacombe, where you can be high up out of the way, but also have some brilliant ocean access. Woolacombe isn't quite my kind of place, but that gives a better idea of the kind of thing I'm thinking of.

Some very valid points, and I like the info on checking storm surges and the alike. But with global warming and the way the weather is at the moment, we really couldn't have any clue about what could happen.

I'm more partial towards NR's idea of having a couple of accessible rivers. The wife and I might be getting a kayak soon enough, so that'll be great fun AND a potential survival tool. If we do go for ocean kayaks, you can be sure we'll be mapping on the way to the ocean and then looking at areas up and down shore, looking for in rivers and the alike, for potential BOL's.
