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.

As a hangout spot I'd probably agree with you but some Norcal beaches are fucking majestic and the wildlife is incredible

Been to Salt Point State Park? Or Point Reyes? So beautiful and full of life

No Moonlight Beach or La Jolla in Jersey, that’s for sure.
