Take a ferry or boat ride.

“The ferry has 3 levels (with an outside deck on each one) and on the middle deck was an interior space similar to the inside of a train except it also had a bar and café. Inside was quiet and warm. We spent most of the ride to Delaware outside looking at the water, people watching, hoping to spot some seals, seeing how close we could come to the edge of the boat, taking photos and making random excited outbursts of "This is SO awesome!!!!" When we had been outside long enough for our hands and feet to freeze through our gloves and boots, we came inside, ate ferry cheeseburgers and the view was just as beautiful.”

“We idle in our vehicle and wait for the ferry line to load. Through our lowered windows we hear the calls of gulls amidst drizzle in the morning air. As we drive onto the hulking ferry boat, I’m reminded of similar childhood ferry rides from the Houston heat to visit my grandmother in Galveston: the slow drive up, the gentle rock of the boat, the constant loud hum and growl of a powerful boat engine. [...] The heavy morning fog obscures the land and makes it seem like we are the only people in the world. I climb the stairs to the observation deck and walk into a brisk and insistent wind and am grateful for my jacket. I pause at the rail, observe, and enjoy the array of silvers and grays that make up the landscape.”
