I don't need to know ANYTHING about NY beaches to know Florida's beaches are in another league. Putting Northeast beaches on the same level as Florida beaches is like saying Jacksonville offers just as much urbanity as NYC.

Not really, outside of South Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida beaches are bland and boring.

Don't think the MTV betrayal (portrayal) is anything like the Jersey shore. Also I think something like 40 million people visit the Jersey shore every year. It is also some of the most expensive real estate in the country.
Not true only during summer does it get warmer. October through May the water is warmer in Southern CA

Oh yeah, well Outside of, well, hmm, Northeast beaches are just bland and boring period. Just kidding. Atlantic City, and Seaside Heights look like there alright(and only alright). But the Northeast beaches OVERALL are blah at best. Just a bunch of old money and socialites, ESPECIALLY at The Hampton's, and Martha's Vineyard. Those are the 2 PRIMARY places I think of when I think of Northeast beaches. Old money, and Northeast socialites. No thanks.

Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that Texas still receives a fair amount of Spring Breakers.

Pffft
Beaches aren't just for summertime.

iced lighthouse
snowy serenity
frozen surf
babybergs

I love going to beaches in the winter.
