Best remote, scenic, uncrowded, and natural beaches are in Washington State around Olympic National Park. I love the sea stacks, evergreen forests, dark sands, giant thunderous crashing Pacific waves, and amazing sunsets. I did a camping trip out in LaPush, WA, it was unforgettable and so peaceful
& I think
Poll would have been a lot more interesting if you excluded Florida and California as well.
Creepy? Sorry, just have a problem with lying and hypocrisy.
Like I said - no lying, no hypocrisy. The way you interpret or misread what I say is not my problem. I've never once said I don't find California to be pretty. I probably said I don't care much for mountains and cliffs (because I don't...) but I've never said I don't find them beautiful. Maybe I've said I find other types of scenery MORE beautiul than mountains, but I find mountains to be pretty. I just don't particularly like them as a place I'd want to live. I'm not a big mountain person.
Anyway, what you originally responded to was a post in which I simply shared my like for New England beaches. You read way too much into it.

Yeah, this is not the first time that poster has done that to me. I think the real problem with him is that I don't prefer mountains and that type of dramatic scenery. Some people cannot comprehend that. It shows up in the east vs west threads all the time - yes, some people really don't prefer mountains and some people find other scenery more beautiful. Size and looking imposing and dramatic doesn't always matter to people over something more subdued. I prefer flat beaches with palm trees, sugary white sand, and turquoise warm water to the CA coast - but they're both pretty.
I would never call a whole state ugly. I am often a huge advocate for saying every state is beautiful. I truly believe that. Everywhere has something beautiful, but I may prefer one type of beauty to another - which is what people apparently take issue with and misinterpret, trying to smear my reputation around here and make me out to be a hypocritical liar Like I said, not the first time...

I didn't find Hawaii's post creepy at all. They made a simple observation about something Jersey said that seemed to contradict something they had said earlier (which I agree, it did come off as contradicting...I could just have just read the posts wrong), and called it out. How is that creepy?

Yeah? When did I say that? Someone claims I said something long the lines of "I don't like CA's coast, I prefer Florida" then is allowed to attack me for simply saying I like New England beaches, something completely unrelated, thus derailing the thread, trying to connect it to the apparent previous post from another thread? And you don't think that's creepy and weird? And you don't even question the poster's interpretation of what I said? That perhaps whatever post he is referring to of mine was misread or misinterpreted? Come on.
Bottom line, as I said, Hawaii4evr seems to have an issue with me. This was not the first time, and won't be the last. I don't really like mountains or cliffs as a type of scenery, on coasts or in general - this is the apparent issue. They are pretty, but yes, I prefer beaches like those in Florida or the Caribbean. I will go to and appreciate pretty much any beach anywhere as long as it is warm with nice sand and the water is a bearable temperature (high 60s and above for me), but I have preferences and I am allowed to. Most posts Hawaii4evr clash with me on are ones in which I share my dislike for mountains. Mountains are pretty, sure, but they're not my preferred scenery. I don't have to apologize for that, someone needs to get over it.
