It’s Friday so let’s all daydream… which would you rather do and why?

    Both are fun for me at least, I guess when it is very hot I would go to the beach, but if it just warm a nice hike in the forest would be good.

    There’s a forest with a beach near me, I don’t need to choose!

    I prefer the forest, although I think that it’s at least partly down to me preferring hiking. There are some beaches not too far from me with interesting caves and rock formations, and I like visiting them

        They’re just aesthetically pleasing to me, I suppose. I like a bit of naturally dramatic scenery. There are some interesting stories attached to couple of them too, like caves that were used as hideouts for smugglers. Some are stable and climbable enough that you can use them to get a good viewpoint over the others

    I lived in Florida for 20+ years. The beach is wildly overrated. Unless you surf or dive (and FL sucks for surfing), there’s literally nothing to do except walk and sit on sand. Though I will say this: if you’re allowed to have a bonfire on the beach at night, it becomes infinitely more fun. But that’s pretty much banned in FL.

    So yeah, I will opt for the forest almost every time.

    I’d go to the forest if the law prohibited the bears from eating me.

      Good answer. Not enough people know how strictly law-abiding most bears are.

    There was a time I wouldn’t have been able to choose. Truth be told, the only reason I can choose is that I can’t hike any more, so that’s what I really want back.

    But, ngl, at my age, I think I’d end up choosing the beach more often than hiking if the ability came back.

    I’d deffo rather the beach. Listen to the waves, relax in the warm sun and just have some space. Forest hike is a lot of work

    Honestly, either. Better photography opportunities in a forest (more birds), but a beach let’s me bring out the drone and soak up some heat
