Beach or mountains?

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

I have lived at the beach and in the mountains!!! I lived in Southern Shores on the outer banks for 20 years. I raised my kids on the island. Despite its beauty, it was not the best place to raise children, in my opinion. It is a vacation area and they grew up seeing people enjoying their vacations, spending money on fun things. I had boys and from an early age they saw skimpily clad woman and girls walk by our house on the way to the beach. They only saw “the beach life” growing up which isn’t reality. It’s also very expensive.

Now I live in the mountains. We have four seasons. It is snowing now. Its a great place to raise kids.

I prefer the mountains.
