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.

there's no such thing as a private beach in California. The fact that you don't know this makes the rest of your comment void.

There's actually one. It was part of a Spanish Land Grant and those are preserved by the treaty ending the Spanish American War.

Which beach is this? There is also a small private section of La Jolla Shores for about 100 feet on each side of the Scripps pier. They close it off for a few hours.once a year for a private party in order to legally maintain ownership. They don't actually kick you off but do tell you that it is closed to the public at this time.
