Whats better: A day at the beach or lodging at the poconos?

I actually perfer lodging at the poconos

It depends what time of year it is. In late spring and all summer long it's got to be the beach! It's awesome! There is so much action going on and everything is so beautiful. I love the beach! It just rocks! However, when winter's chill hits the air or on a beautiful fall day there is nothing like the Pennsylvania Poconos. Ahhhh! I can't decide, I like them both.

I'd say the beach, because I love the ocean. If I was going to stay in the mountains somewhere, I wouldn't choose the Poconos, I'd go to the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia.

I would probably prefer a day at the beach but I wouldn't mind lodging during the winter and having some hot cocoa!

I used to love the beach but had a horrible experience  I went in the water and got knocked downed 4 times!!! I have been petrified of the ocean ever since (lol!!) but I love getting a tan! But lodging during a cold winter warms me up inside and its the best time to catch up on conversation with a loved one or friends. I guess it depends on which weather you prefer

Beach.  I've never been to the Poconos but I'm not a mountain person.

I've never been to the Poconos, and since I don't really care for the NE in general I'll take the beach in the Southeast

I love the mountains but have never been to the Poconos so I'll go with the beach.

I had planned a vacation in August to go to the Poconos for the first time.  Cancelled so I could help family out that week.  The reason I planned on the mountains was the heat and humidity was so ridiculous.  I think we would have enjoyed the Poconos more and been more comfortable.  Still look forward to a trip there.  Nobody I know has ever been there.  I wonder if it is much different than the Smokey Mountains that is only an hour or so away from me.

this is a tough one for me i used to live in the poconos and i live in tampa fl now so i would have to say the ppol i am not in to getting sand kicked in my face and feeling like i haven't shower but thats just me i don't like the cold anymore but i would have to say the poconos it is so preety up there

[selene12171]

I agree, sand is probably one of the negative of going to the beach! At least lodging you can stay warm and cozy and sip hot cocoa

 a day at the beach!

[GramPolly3]

Both, for me. The beach in the summer and the Poconos in the fall--when the leaves are changing color.

Depends on the time of year.  I live on the gulf coast but the mountains are fabulous too!

Siesta Key Beach, Florida, the fine white sand is awesome! Give me the beach anyday.
