Oh, guess this is some sort of slang for america. Same number of letters so why not spell it correctly?

I'm too old to learn a new language. That is very hard to read for me.

Hi Numpty,
Have you tried up Newcastle way, beautiful places to stay.

salty air is good for my soul. i would rather rust away a car at the beach than rust away from road salt in the snow country

millions of people live near beaches and cars from those areas have less issue with rust then the aptly named rust belt.

sure if you want your car to never rust you could live in the aird desert south west. but i value my serenity far more than the finsih on my car. i am just not materialistic enough

Amen to that!!

There is a place in South Texas where one can somewhat live on the beach. Better put, an area where your not likely to be run off by any authority, but because of it's remoteness, you could be hassled by some unsavory characters. I've never been bothered as a lot of folks go out there for the seclusion minding their own business. It's between High Island and Sabine Pass, Texas, where Highway 87 used to run but has been washed out over the years. It's okay most of the way for 2-wheel-drive, but a pickup or 4x4 will get you farther away from everyone but the most reclused. I've spent a lot of time out there as it's my getaway spot to preserve my sanity. No, it's not a beautiful beach, but it's clean, secluded, and quiet. Galveston to the ferry and across to Point Bolivar, drive until you meet SH 124 going North at High Island, but keep going straight and you're there. Another route is IH10 to Winnie, Texas, and South down SH 124 to High Island and go left. One can go from Sabine Pass West, but a 4x4 is highly recommended. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the bullet-proof 4.0 six & Select-Trak four-wheel-drive, so nothing stops me. It has a house battery, solar on the luggage rack, and all the comforts I need for several days. Google Maps, Texas Gulf Coast, zoom in to Galveston to Sabine Pass, zoom in until you're between High Island and Sabine Pass, go to satellite view, and check it out.

There was a thread on this recently, with links to TX beaches.

Yeah, folks know about the area, but it's not a family beach, rough going on, and along the beach, so everybody goes West towards Galveston. There are miles and miles of beautiful beach along the way. You've got about a mile or so of shell road, it changes, haven't been down there since April, I hang around the marina's in Kemeaand Clear Lake during the summer so I can sail, and after that there is tracks and trails you follow all the way up the coast towards Sabine Pass. It's a pretty beach, somewhat, it's not kept up would be the best way to describe it. Now on the Sabine Pass end, there is a State Park where 87 runs into the Gulf, and South of that, and a little to the west is a nudist beach of sorts, so if that kind of thing offends, then stay away from that area. Between there and High Island is the remains of an old ARCO offshore communications and supply base. Nothing there now but the imprints on the ground and what's left of the channel. Oddly enough, I worked out of that base many moons ago, taking care of the compressors on the platforms it supplied. If they didn't have a bunkhouse on the platform, they flew you back and forth; that's how I know what those imprints on the ground mean, and probably one of very few still alive that do. It's a quiet place, kind of spooky to me because I can see the ghost of the past, know what I mean?  This is my spot, it's hard to get to, me and my little Jeep like it there, and I carry everything I need for as many days as I can stay. If one has a big van pickup truck, you can get there. It's really nice at night, dark; you can see into space with the twinkling lights form the offshore platforms reflecting on the water on your Southern horizon.

Here are a few images so those of you interested in this area can get a look, somewhat, of what the area looks like.

First, from way up.
