Where in the world has the best Oceanside beaches?
The Pacific Ocean rocks. Big waves in San Fran, albeit cold... Santa Cruz is nice and somewhat warmer... San Diego has weather to die for... small waves like Florida. I don't know how I feel about the Jersey Shore. I never cared for the state. Hawaii seems best to me and I've never been there yet. I never been abroad... Do tell... Feb 17 13 12:03 pm Link I used to live in Virginia, and spent MUCH time in Va. Beach. I liked it. But the eastern coast of Florida...Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, at least back in the day...LOVED those beaches. I spent quite a lot of time at Venice Beach, which I loved, too. The waves were bigger than on the Atlantic. Feb 17 13 12:10 pm Link DP on purpose. Feb 17 13 12:10 pm Link AuTrain, Michigan.

When you go to the beach, what do you want to do? Sun? Swim? Surf? Nightlife?

Not "the most beautiful" or "best surf" etc, but definitely one of the "feels best" beaches around.

But, for my money I'd say that it doesn't get any better than this place, maybe anywhere on the planet? Anyone care to take a guess?
