	Buenos Aires shouldn't be there? The city (without counting the additional metropolitan area) has 2.995.805 inhabitants. ;)

	If you include Tampa (which is on the Gulf of Mexico side), why not include the other Gulf cities like Houston, Mobile, Corpus Christi, etc.?

	How do Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo not make this list?

	Jacksonville should be on here too

	tampa is not on the atlantic.. no sao paulo or buenos aires. this quiz has potential but needs ALOT of work

	Thanx all 4 your comments. Buenos Aires is in the River Plate, not the Atlantic (I live in Buenos Aires, btw) Take a look: http://www.educared.org.ar/comunidades/tamtam/kmages/rio-de-la-plata.jpg

	Sao Paulo is not in the Atlantic: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/SaoPaulo-Landsat-2.jpg/220px-SaoPaulo-Landsat-2.jpg

	tobinw: Houston, really? Is far from the sea... Mobile and Corpus Christi are less than 1.000.000 inhabitants.

	hadlocks: the gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic ocean. ZOstiller: take a look of Jacksonville on Google Earth. Is a difficult one... Thanx again 2 all 4 your comments, and sorry 4 my bad english ;)

	Newcastle? I live there. We are not on the Atlantic coast. If we are classed as Atlantic then so must all of the cities in the UK, and Newcastle isn't even in the top ten UK cities size-wise!

	Patricio:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 22:50 GMT		0 points
	dazbradley, take a look on Google Earth: the Newcastle metro area (Tyneside) touches the Atlantic coast.

	Patricio, Jacksonville is on the Atlantic. The center of the city is not, but according to Wikipedia, the city limits do extend to the Atlantic north of the downtown proper area.

	Patricio:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 12:59 GMT		2 points
	OK gowhere, I've added Jacksonville to the list.

	dazbradley:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 16:14 GMT		3 points
	I'm telling you, I live in Tyneside. It doesn't touch the Atlantic. It doesn't even touch the Irish Sea. I live on the coast of the North Sea.

	why is boston a bonus. And don't tell me that Boston Harbor and Cape Cod Bay do not count as the Atlantic because you count the Gulf as part of it AND I guarantee that part of the Metro area touches the Atlantic. Same with Providence, Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Washington...etc.

	^ Boston is not a bonus

	Unfortunately, your quiz title states on the Atlantic Coast, and therefore all cities on the coasts of seas or gulfs should not count. If you are going to include cities on the seas associated with the Atlantic, then the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea are also parts of the Atlantic Ocean, and their cities should be counted too.

	There are more people in Copenhagen and Stockholm than in Dublin
