The benefit of living on an island. I’m very privileged to have this opportunity. Sadly access to nature is not guaranteed, especially in developed nations. Hopefully there’s a small park or green space near you that you can enjoy when you need to relax and feel the earth beneath your feet. If not, maybe time for some guerilla gardening?
I bet you live much closer than 1500km to a river or lake. Many of those bodies of water have public trails or sometimes even little sandy beaches. You won’t find shells but there’s plenty of other cool stuff to search for like the perfect skipping stone or walking stick, or a rock with a really cool color pattern, or mushrooms, etc. There’s something inexplicably restorative about spending time in nature near water.
I’m about 1500km from any beach and there’s no public transportation or even bike lanes but that sounds cool
