seasideits

Seasideits is a term that has emerged in informal online discourse, particularly within communities discussing coastal living and travel. It is generally understood to refer to individuals who are particularly enthusiastic about or deeply connected to seaside environments. This enthusiasm can manifest in various ways, including a strong preference for living near the ocean, frequent visits to coastal areas, a passion for beach activities, and a general appreciation for the unique atmosphere and lifestyle associated with the seaside.

The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "seaside" with a suffix that implies a strong affinity or dedication, similar to how terms like "foodie" or "bibliophile" are formed. While not a formally recognized sociological or demographic category, "seasideits" captures a sentiment shared by many people who find solace, recreation, or inspiration in proximity to the sea. This can encompass a wide range of individuals, from those who grew up by the coast and maintain a lifelong connection, to those who discover a profound love for it later in life. The appeal of the seaside often includes factors such as the calming sound of waves, the fresh air, opportunities for water sports, and the distinct natural beauty of coastal landscapes. The shared identity, even if informal, allows like-minded individuals to connect and express their appreciation for this specific type of environment.
