That said, hiking near coasts is usually not as fun as hiking in the highest mountains. It's a different experience and even a different climate to be in rugged mountainous terrain.
The sea has a different ruggedness, and a different, stronger danger. If you have never been out in a row boat in stormy waters, I recommend it. The sea spray, the salty air, the vast flat horizon, the wind, the imminent danger as the big waves try to destroy you. It's definitely /out/.
For a less risky experience, trips where you canoe and also hike and camp around fjords in Norway are an excellent experience. Don't be afraid of water. And there's plenty of mountains right next to the water.

The more personal risk, the more fun it will be
