I think it's a tie between the Como Lake and the Po River. The nearest sea is the Ligurian Sea, part of the Mediterranean.
What's the nearest body of water to you?

The tiny stream known as the Rio Grande.
Salt River (or Rio Salado).
either the stream and canal about a mile down the bottom of the hill or Toadsmoor lake about a mile, mile and a half away the other side of the hill.
I live about 10 blocks from the Minneapolis chain of lakes (Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, and Lake of the Isles) and I work right next to the Mississippi River. We're very lucky to be near all this!
This answer varies a lot according to where I am. Right now, it's the River Derwent.
Odense Å is about five houses down from here.
I took a few shots of it last fall:
Half of town is on either side of the river, so many bridges cross it; above: four lanes of cars and two of bicycles, below: one of the parks along the river.
Loads of wooden bridges along the footpath...
...on which you can walk (or bicycle) along the river all through town.

The Pacific ocean is a 10 minute bus ride down the street.
Technically, the San Gabriel River, but it's become pretty much all just for flood control now, so it is the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks, it's a nice place to take the dogs for a walk -or to soak up some sun in the summer!
Or to cross town without having to use the streets
The Brazos River, Oyster Creek, and--about an hour away--is the Gulf of Mexico.
