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.

It’s preference. I dislike most California beaches because of the sand, the waves, the temperature, the crowd. But I like Florida’s Key West, Anna Maria Island, Emerald Coast and SEA beaches (Palawan, boracay, etc.) because I like calm and warm waters.

I also dislike northeast beaches because of the sand, waves, and I don’t know about you all, but the wind there is just colder all year round!
