Up in LA, Manhattan Beach was not that hard to find parking 4-5 blocks away from the beach. Might have to circle around at times to find a space but I did.
It’s May and it’s 53 degrees in the water off Coney Island. I find very little warm about the northern Atlantic beaches.
The warmest water that California gets in the dead of summer is an average of 69 degrees. The average water temp in the Hamptons in July/August is about 72 degrees.
Give me those northern Atlantic beaches all summer, perpetually.
Well, yes, of course the Atlantic is warmer. That's well-known.
I think that knowing where to go for free beach parking is enough of a perk for locals. And from what you're saying--where you live, locals have to pay to go to the beach just as well as visitors/tourists do...so I'm not sure how that "keeps it mainly locals. Maybe you could elucidate.
Because it is very expensive if you are not a resident - like $50 lol so it deters a lot of ppl

Well that’s certainly not true. Maybe in a colder summer? I’m in the water more days than not, and San Diego is usually in the low to mid 70’s during the summer. A couple of years ago it made it into the low 80’s. As luck would have it I was in Hawaii at the time and the water was warmer back home.

I’m maybe missing something, but 69 and 72 degrees seem like practically the same temperature.
Regardless, that’s spring break water to me. We get 8 months of that (and better) down here. This discussion of NY vs California ocean temps seems silly to me at least. Y’all are both polar bears.

Like I said about a 69 degree average summer high for SoCal. The warmest spots are Newport Beach and Santa Catalina Island in August topping out at 70 degrees.
According to Nasa it's never made it to 80 degrees and topped out at 78.6 degrees at La Jolla a few years back.
And that's for San Diego area beaches. LA's waters are cooler.
