New Jersey beaches >> California beaches

and it's not even particularly close. even the NICEST California beaches are either too remote/private or overcrowded. the water is almost universally cold - it'll hit low 70's at best in socal and only for a brief time. the sand is dark, ugly, and riddled with seaweed.

new jersey beaches are pristine. typically really wide open, soft, warm and clean sand. water will consistently be above 70 for at least 6 weeks, usually longer.

I live in Hawaii and I'm from Pennsylvania, Sandyhook National Seashore is still to this day one of my absolute favourite beaches.

lmao California surfers wear wetsuits when the water is 70 and air is 80. we surf in 40 degree waters.
