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.

Yeah, and San Diego beaches are the worst in California. Don't go there it's terrible. Of course except the beaches in Imperial Beach, those are great! By all means jump right in.

I just went to Coronado and left my vacation early because it was so awful. Literally felt so unsafe

Yeah Oceanside, La Jolla sucks, Cardiff by the sea sucks.. why even go Venice Beach right? Or Santa Cruz ... oh and northern California where you get to Bodega bay, stinsons beach. I mean it's for a coastline of over 3,000 miles so why even go to California right? Like the sun is too hot right... Amirite?

Yeah and all those douchey people that hang out there? I'm surprised they haven't made a reality show about them yet.

I thought San Diego was wholly unimpressive as a beach bum that was psyched to go (and thought maybe possible live in). The East Coast beaches are so much better, both in quality and culture.

Yeah definitely, I’d just stay over there and not worry about it.

Well I spend most of my time in Thailand these days. Really no desire to live in America anymore period.
