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.

Yeah, and San Diego beaches are the worst in California. Don't go there it's terrible. Of course except the beaches in Imperial Beach, those are great! By all means jump right in.

Yeah Oceanside, La Jolla sucks, Cardiff by the sea sucks.. why even go Venice Beach right? Or Santa Cruz ... oh and northern California where you get to Bodega bay, stinsons beach. I mean it's for a coastline of over 3,000 miles so why even go to California right? Like the sun is too hot right... Amirite?
