I started living on the beach when I was 16: on the lifeguard towers.
For most of my life I lived within a block of the beach, all over America, Mexico, Canada, and Jamaica.
I really miss it...
Except for evacuating during the last two tsunamis, leaving everything except my dogs behind, and hearing all the dogs that got left behind howling in the darkness below me when the wave came in...
Now I live on an acre of rainforest with two cabins at 1500 feet, on a dirt road, where I often fall asleep watching the stars; and nobody ever woke me up.
I got priced up here by high rents in Hilo; but it was exactly what I needed! and I no longer have to leave home if there's an earthquake in the Pacific!
I can still see my boat in my yard everyday.
I don't go out as much... but I no longer have to go on the ocean to get the solitude I need, and could never get while living on the beach.
When I was young, I was always tanned darker than a lot of Mexicans.
After growing up on the beach in So. Cal., paddling around the country in a canoe for a couple years, and spending over a year in salt water on the Gulf of Mexico in an open canoe: I have scar tissue on my nose and hands that my dermatologist told me, "Looks bad."
Since I paid to hear that... I take his advice; and wear a hat. I also wear long sleeves and pants most of the time, and hang out in the shade.

RE: Human, and other, aromas...
You're right.Can you get all that from smaller fish, like sardines and mackerel, that carry less dioxin and mercury?
