<p>University of Tampa, University of South Florida (in Tampa), University of North Florida (in Jacksonville), New College of Florida (Sarasota).</p>

26

<p>University of Washington is right near the Puget Sound, as well as practically on Lake Washington, although you’d be pretty short on good beach weather</p>

27

<p>University of New England</p>

<p>Endicott College [this one impressed me but no grad school :(]</p>

28

<p>Students often select undergraduate schools with an eye toward their favored pastimes or settings, but grad school is all about focus in a particular field that will direct your career. You need to find a program and advisor who meet your academic and career needs, and deal with the more peripheral aspects of the campus for a couple years.</p>

<p>UC San Diego is near the ocean, but it’s a good 5-10 minutes to an actual beach.</p>

<p>UC Irvine is not near the beach. If you count Irvine you also have to count UCLA. :)</p>
