When it comes to vacations, future homes, and even current homes, there is a big debate on which is better. The beach or the mountains. While each has exceptional natural beauty, some people have strong preferences about which is better and why. 

In the mountains there is a wide range of different temperatures you can achieve. Often, they have colder winters with snow, and nice warm summers with rain. Many people enjoy this because of the variety of weather they can get. So, they don’t have to choose between just hot or only cold weather.

“I like the mountains because of how peaceful it can be, and the country side of things is cool.” sophomore Sara Rathbun said.

Sara likes the mountains for many reasons and what she said is included. She finds the mountains peaceful because of the calming demeanor of nature and outside with the trees and flowers. She finds it calming and soothing to be in an environment like that. She says that it helps her concentrate and makes her happy.

On the contrary, many people also enjoy the beach life. There are many factors into this, a big one including the hot salt air of the ocean. Many people love sitting in the always warm weather and being able to go swimming when they get hot. 

Personally, I like the beach more. The biggest reason is I hate the cold but love the warm and hot. I also love swimming and the ocean. There are so many options when it comes to the ocean and I love each of them. Snorkeling, boating, or surfing. I also love being in the sun and sitting out on the beach with only the sound of waves in the back.

Both the mountains and beach are very pretty when it comes to nature. The differences between to two might be big but both can be equally as beautiful.
