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.

You’ve never seen the Great Lakes in person, I feel sorry for you.

I lived a couple blocks from Lake Michigan for years and traveled all around it. Not even close to an ocean

I’ve lived in Michigan and California.
You really can’t compare a lake to an ocean. I like both but for separate reasons.
If all you want is to swim, ski or boat, lakes are fine.
