I have to disagree with you about Florida, since I think they have the best beaches in the mainland US, but I'm with you on California/West coast beaches. They are very beautiful/scenic, but the water is so much colder out West.
I guess growing up in Florida and being able to swim in the water most of the year spoils you. Yeah California is nice to view, but gosh that water is so damn cold. It ruins the experience just looking at it and not being able to get in and relax. Subjective...

Yes and you add the White sand of Florida's shores and blue hues of its waters. How can they not be the best.

That's what I love so much. Swimming in the water is what really matters IMO. I do love a beautiful view, but swimming on a beautiful sunny day is one of the best parts of life.

Exactly. If you have a beach where the water is too cold for swimming you're not getting the full beach experience IMO.
Orlando doesn't have beaches. Yes, Daytona Beach is sometimes included in the metro area. However, Daytona Beach, is like an hour away or more from most of Orlando, the closer beach is Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral which are like 45 minutes to an hour from Orlando. Still, it's far. Orlando is not a beach city and most Orlandoans don't go to the beach frequently. You don't move to Orlando to be close to beaches.

The beach was very much on our minds when I lived there. Hard to ignore when it's only 40 miles away.
Truth is, I went to the beach more often in Orlando than I did living in Ft. Lauderdale.
