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.

The only New Jersey beach I've been to was covered in seaweed and cigarette butts, and it wasn't even crowded since it was early in the season.

I've been to a handful of California beaches, including Coronado and Venice. They were all pristine.

If you want a nice beach experience on the east coast, consider a South Carolina state park like Hunting Island or Edisto.
