I enjoyed the beach at Livorno, Italy, and also the one at Nice, France, which I visited in the summer of 1966. The surf at both beaches was not too rough and the water was warm. At Nice, it was turquoise in color.
However, Livorno and Nice might not be very desirable destinations today.
Laguna Beach, California - pick one
Yes, we do!
Lived most of my life in Fort Lauderdale. It should not be on the list.
St. Pete Beach and St. Augustine Beach are two of my favorites.
Blowing Rock Beach near Jupiter, FL is very nice.
My absolute favorite beach is Bahia Honda State Park. Few people go there. The water is clear and warm. There are reefs just a few feet off shore for snorkeling. The sand is nice. They have picnic tables, grills and bathrooms, all very clean. I hope heaven is as good.
any beach kate upton is on is number 1
I am very familiar with the two California beaches. Carlsbad and La Jolla.
IMO the beaches in both cities are two narrow. In high tide everyone gets pushed off the beach. The beaches to the north are wider and more space but dirtier (example KFC buckets floating in the surf and people swimming in street clothes.)
I live in Oceanside which has a long enough beach to surf, longest pier in the US, but still narrow like Carlsbad.
Tourists come here for the general weather and the beach included. If you plan to come try Carlsbad with a nice walk around village vibe downtown.
La Jolla is upscale and pricy, with a scientific educated community. Harder to park and crowd on the beach in good weather.
If you want san died o to Mission Bay area. bigger beaches more people but mor space and near the main San Diego attractions. Plenty of hotels various price ranges (unique La jolla).
Oceanside has space for surfers and swimmers at the same time.
Apparently waves are not factors, since so many E. Coast location came in high, versus California with excellent surfing spots.
Likewise for overall weather, since Florida would be uncomfortably humid, by California standards.
