* Ayumi from ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]''
Line 21:
* Featured in episode 9 of ''[[Toradora!]]'', appropriately titled ”You, who are going to the sea”.
* Discussed in ''[[Blue Gender]]''; Kaido's [[Shallow Love Interest]] for an episode or two mentions never having seen the sea, Kaido describes it in comparison with the nearby lake and promises to show her one day. He runs to be back with Marlene within the same episode.
* Exhibited by the titular character in the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]''.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* This is commonly attributed to [[Harry Potter]] in fanfics, with the explanation that the Dursleys actively excluded him from family beach excursions, so he's never actually seen the sea, ever. Despite living on an island.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* In the ''[[Legend Of 1900]]'' a film with [[Tim Roth]], a guy the main character meets talks about seeing the ocean for the first time and hearing it scream (metaphorically) that the world is immense. Later he meets the man's daughter and she seems to think similar things about the ocean.
* The very timid ''Ninny in The Invisible Child'' by Tove Jansson is terrified of the sea for the reasons other characters would be awed.
* In ''[[Blast from the Past]]'', Brendan Fraser's character (who has been living in a fallout shelter for 30 years and has only just come up into the sunlight) has what might be described as a religious experience when he finally sees the ocean.
