I enjoyed the scenery though, and laid back vibe. I'm sure in the winter, it's a bit nicer than Miami. But then I'm not at the beach in Miami in the winter anyways.
But you still enjoyed it? Weird how that works huh?

You know what beaches and water are even better than Miami? Abu Dhabi. Water temp a comfy 93 degrees right now!

Highs in the low 80s and lows in the upper 60s are that perfect "goldilocks" summer range. But I'd still prefer highs in the 90s over highs in the 60s in summer (which is why I voted for Miami in your poll). Anyway, different strokes for different folks so I honor your personal preferences. There are people who actually love cold summers and are already getting tired of our "warm epoch" in California right now.
I agree. A perfect day for me is one where it's cool enough on a Saturday morning for a long bike ride (upper 60s), warm enough during the day for the pool/ocean (mid to high 80s), and then warm enough to leisurely stroll down city streets or by the water eating ice cream in the evening (low 70s). There is nothing better than a warm (not hot) night and I am going to miss them terribly once autumn rolls around.

I could see how someone with a super active outdoor life would want a cooler climate (high 60s). And I could see how someone who's into liming and swimming would prefer a warmer temperature (mid to high 80s).

I'd rather have my perfect summer day described above, but if forced to choose, I'd go with the warmer climate since I enjoy swimming very much.

Yeah, basically. You can lime in a house but that's not what I had in mind. I was thinking more about sitting outside for long periods of time with friends simply liming. Though I suppose people can do that in the upper 60s too. Low 80s seems more ideal to me.

Because of an unusually dry and sunny summer, our surface water temperature is in the low 90s right now. Usually it's in the high 80s, but lack of clouds and constant sun, our water is now close to a bathtub. I love it. Also the water off my area in SoBe is calm, off my condo in Sunny Isles it's more wavy which makes it feel cooler (I guess surface water warmed by the sun is mixed by water not heated). I actually have trouble entering there because of the cold

I don't know what world you live in, but San Francisco is uglytown. As is Seattle. Come to Miami Beach, we probably have the most beautiful people in the USA.
