Whereas I think SC's economy is booming at the moment compared to NJ. For the record, I've been to an NJ beach too many times to the tune of "Don't go in the water." And they didn't mean sharks
Complete BS. Our water was just rated 3rd cleanest out of 30 states behind both NH and DE.
I was born and grew up in NJ, started my city-data account when I was living there, and moved back to CA last year. Now how does that constitute being a troll?
They can go on and on about their muddy, silt laden beaches all day long. I don't care if the water is 80F if it looks like a dirty river. Yuck. Their beaches suck.
Here are some quotes from three TripAdvisor reviews:
And the same description applies to all their beaches except maybe Myrtle Beach (horribly overdeveloped and tacky).
My wife and I made a trip out to this beach based on Dr. Beach rating this a 2014 top 10 beach in the U.S. We arrived with great expectations of a beautiful beach. The beach is not especially crowded which is nice. There are plenty of life guards for safety. The sand is smooth soft and clean of garbage. There is natural wash up though. However, the water is very brown. Wind blowing into shore makes for very murky water. My wife and I being used to the Palm lined beaches of Thailand did not find the scenery very impressive. As far as Carolina beaches go this is just another beach. There is no way this could be a top 10 U.S. beach.
First things first, get here early so you don't have to fight to get a parking spot or run the chance that they'll run out of rentable chairs and umbrellas. The water isn't clear by any means, but it is wonderfully warm and calm and not very deep. It's one of the cleanest beaches I've ever come across, even with all the dogs that frolic on the beach with their owners. There is a wonderful concession stand and great bathrooms and changing facilities. A definite must visit!
You know the great thing about a great beach. It is the beautiful and blazing white powder sand that is fluffy like talcum powder. It is also the turquoise or crystal clear waves that let you see all the way to toes in even when the water is at shoulder levels. You can see the schools of small shimmering fish dart away as you part the seas in slow motion. The palms create a gorgeous shelter that keeps the hot sun off of your head. Beachwalker County Park and beach, well, it is NOT that! What you will find is a wide beach with dark, grayish sand so flat and hard near the water's edge, that you might think you were walking on pre-cured concrete. The tires of the cyclists who were cruising the beach barely left a tread mark. The umbrellas inserted into the ground all has the burrowing spike accessory that you have to screw into the sand. The water was a brown, brackish variety inundated with soil so thick that you really couldn't see through it as the small waves broke across the land. Also there was a foam that curled up at the leading edge of the waves, almost like a chocolate latte. As much as I wanted to I just couldn't go into that water.

You've made your emotional position on New Jersey quite clear over and over and over again. Everyone who cares to know; knows at this point........................ Now what do you have to offer?
I started posting on this site for true demographic, socio-economic discourse. I see this site as an outlet for understanding. You just want personal validation. Eff that; You want internet vengeance for whatever perceived injustices were done to you in the Garden State.
Start a blog, write a song, cry to your girlfriend. Why cheapen a valued outlet? It's lame at this point.
