How far to the sea??

[Little Tinca]

One of my grandchildren wanted to go to the seaside for the day. That set me thinking, where I live we are about 80 miles from the nearest costal resort.

That thought led on to wondering just how far from the sea can you get.

So how near and far are you from the briny?

[Gillies]

Between 300-400 meters from the sea ... and I have a beach / rocky shore which I get all my bait from - Mussels, Cockles, Lugworm, White Rag etc.

 

Usually take a spinning rod down with me when I am collecting my bait, and fire out a single hook, small spoon with a small lead and catch 2-3 flatties while I collect bait.

This might sound strange but I have 70 miles of shoreline all within a 10 mile radius of my house.

[Peter Waller]

About one mile!

[Leon Roskilly]

How far from the sea?

 

About 10 minutes walk when the tide's in.

 

Another few miles of thick mud to get across when it's out!

The Forth estuary is about 20 miles away from me....

[Elton]

About 10 miles for me.

Think I maybe the furthest away as i'm in South Staffordshire. The closest is, I think, Bristol or Queensferry in North Wales.

Around 100 miles or there about.

From my house in Southampton, a mile or so at most.

 

From my pad in Luc-Sur-Mer in sunny Normandie about 100 meters ( or 500 if the tide is out)

My 'home' in Sunny Brackley looks like it couldn't be much further from the sea, 100miles?

Easiest bit of coast to get to is bournemouth. I get to sea fish for one or two weeks of the year. In fact going to wales tomorrow for a week of sea fishing.
