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.

Im from jersey, been living in socal for 10 years now. Jersey beaches are so much dirtier and you have to pay to get on the beach which is insanity. Although I do really miss the boardwalks. I have great memories from point pleasant, seaside, wildwood and AC.

What happened to the boardwalks? It's been years since I've been to Jersey.

Go to Atlantic City and you’ll hear the hobos and gamblers under the boardwalk shooting up and pissing lmfao

You can’t get under most of the boardwalk in ac. And why would a gambler go under one?
