I would hit about 6 miles ESE of Onancock, Virginia, about midway between Norfolk, VA and the southeast corner of Delaware. Somewhere near Metompkin Inlet. The last couple of miles appear to be swamp land.
Uh, The Atlantic is about 4.5 miles east of me..... I already know where my latitude would take me...
California or Oregon
When you head west?
DeBordieu Beach, SC
Heading south
Would you hit Nantucket Island? Or would you have to go all the way to Dominican Republic to hit dry ground?
Heading south
Somewhere in the vicinity of Kujalleq, Greenland...
Of course, I have to cross Hudson Bay and Baffin Bay first. Darn Mercator projection makes it look a little goofy though.
Looks like about 4702 Ocean Front Ave., Virginia Beach Virginia.
Unfortunately, those folks have had to put up a NO PARKING sign on their garage to stop folks like me from parking at their house and walking behind it to the beach.
Although I can go south about five miles and walk into the Ocean, I'd have to travel about 40 miles due east to hit the Ocean at Smith Point Park, just about due north of where TWA Flight 800 exploded.
40° 34.087' N, 073° 51.57' W , on Long Island, NY
Peggotty Beach (somewhere in Massachusetts, I think).
Following the latitudinal arc, of course. 😉
If I head West
I'll hit the canal bridges heading off Cape and I'd be crazy to leave here this time of year!
Going South I'd run smack dab into Nantucket, and that is just crazy in the summer!

I never thought about it: Lubbock, Tx and Tempe, Az are at the same latitude -
checked GE and ended up at Debordieu Beach house too.
heading to west coast - San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, near San Clemente.
East across Coral Bay, east end St. John, Flanagan Is, Peter Is. (we were there all the 4th weekend), across Anegada Passage (rough water), north of Anguilla (one of the few islands I haven't been to) and I'm there. About 100 nm.
Or if I went west...
head scratchin'..
I think I found Holy's place on Google Earth.
Just plug in the lat-long and low-and-behold:
PS -I think Holy's the one on the left.
Just a little north from here....
Blue Shutters Town Beach
469 E Beach Rd, Charlestown, RI 02813
Wachapreague, VA. 2536 miles away

Must be a bunch of surveyor cows. They can't reach a consensus on the proper direction.
This morning you had me go West and I gave up only 15 miles in when I got to Lake Michigan. So I went East and hitched a boat ride across Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, only to get picked up in Canada without a passport. I bribed them to deport me to Maine so I could continue on this Holy Cow journey. Things where going good when I got to the Bay of Fundy. But I was not sure if that met the Atlantic Ocean requirement, so I swam further East. Walked onto the shore of Nova Scotia, Canada where I got arrested with no passport again. Mr. Cow can you bail me out before I end up on the next episode of Locked-up Abroad?
Side Note: Very unhappy about this needing a passport to go to Canada.

Interesting. Apparently, I went 10 minutes too far North in the previous thread. You are right....pretty close to the power plant.
I liked Laguna Beach better.
I have wandered into Canada only twice in my life. Both times I went south out of Detroit to get there. That really made no sense at all. First time via the tunnel, second time on the bridge. The second time, I started the day a half mile east of Lake Michigan, drove via Detroit into Canada and down to a Provincial park on the north shore of Lake Erie, and then returned to the starting point. Only time I saw two of the Great Lakes on the same day without being in the air.
