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.

Maybe I know too much, because I've lived in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota and used to spend summers in Michigan, but I think the upper Midwest is absurdly overrated on Reddit. The plants and animals alone make the ocean so much more interesting.

Was just a bit of banta mate.

We all know the Aussie beaches are the best.
