I would love either and have gone on a few beach vacations already. I have been to the mountains but not as a getaway more of a drive through. So, I would have to say a mountain getaway would be ideal! To enjoy the clean mountain air and the scenery would be so peaceful. Stay in a nice log cabin and enjoy a fire! Ahhh. Let me go plan our next family trip right now lol.
I find the mountains a bit scary especially these days so much is happening. So for my own safety. I would choose the beach.
Yes you are right on that

I do understand but honestly danger can happen in both places. I would definitely not go to either alone lol. Right after our last beach trip we heard on the news a lady was bit by a shark at that same beach we just left from! Thank God for his protection!
