Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

I have seen beaches from the north to the south, and east to west but nothing speaks more than the mighty mountains.  Beaches have water, sand and sea gulls, all the same each time, where the mountains hold timbers, animals and more life. They change colors throughout the day and year, I see the same ones everytime and by the dawn’s early light or a fiery red sunset, they stand there at attention.
