How far is the nearest other country from where you live?

Canada is about a 20 mile boat ride from the mouth of our river.

    From my very doorstep to the Canadian border is a mere 365 miles/587 km and the most direct route would be only a 6½ hour drive by car.

    American border is about 60 miles away from here to the south.

    Nassau, Bahamas is 280 nautical miles.

    Havana, Cuba is 230 nautical miles.

    In both cases the "country" is closer to me than the capital city specifically.  But, those figures were the easiest to get.

    It's about 563 miles from here to Mexico.  A 10-hour drive down dreary I-5.

    (I hear the 800 mile trip to Canada up I-5 is FAR more scenic.)

    It doesn't appear that far on the map. I found that it is 805 miles.

    I don't know that's what I got when I googled the distance from Groton to Canada. :)

  • The nearest other country from where I live is Uruguay, which is on the other side of the Plate River.  The closest point in Uruguay to my house is a rock formation in the Plate River.  The distance from my house is 44,02 km.  I found it by using the distance measuring tool on Google Maps.
