San Diego exceeds my maximum preferable dew point. In fact it is pretty close to the high itself which at 79, won't be very comfortable. That is balanced somewhat by the fact that there is at least some cloud cover, but considering the chance of rain, what's the point of being at the beach?
Miami Beach is exceedingly humid for a 91 degree day. If it is sunny, it would be barely tolerable except while in the water, but laying on the beach, even under a sunshade sounds miserable to me.
Coos Bay looks comfortable, it is may favorite weather conditions in this poll and the shore there is awesome, but, considering this is to be taken as a preference for weather combined with a beach experience, I can't pick it as it is a bit too cool for bathing.
So the winner for me is:
Atlantic City. It is very warm, but the dew point is 60 which is tolerable at the high temp for the day so being on the beach itself, with shade, would be comfortable. The water would be nice and the air temerature would be comforting after an invigorating dip. You can duck into a nearby casino for A/C and a cold rum and coke.
Wild Card Factor (non weather related): Although I love the natural beauty of Coos Bay and AC beach is far from the best beach in NJ, I love the boardwalk scene and amusement park pier scene on Jersey Shore beaches and it has been a long time :-)

What you left out - water temperature and wind conditions.
I did state the water temp as SST but I left out the wind conditions.
A) Atlantic City: 83/63F with mostly sunny skies and a dew point of 60F during the warmest part of the day with a SST of 72F
B) San Diego: 79/70F with partly cloudy skies and a slight chance of showers and a dew point of 66F during the warmest part of the day and a SST of 72F
C) Miami Beach: 91/80F with sunny skies in the morning building clouds in the afternoon with a chance of thunderstorms and a dew point of 77F during the warmest part of the day and a SST of 87F
D) Coos Bay, Oregon: 65/52F with morning fog giving away to sun and a dew point of 55F during the warmest part of the day and a SST of 52F
Depends on whether I was going in the water. Is SST the water temp? If so and I planned on going in probably Miami. If I was going to enjoy the beach without getting in the water I would choose Coos Bay.
I'm guessing these SST temperatures came from NOAA satellite imaging - Is anyone suspicious of this data? Seattle is showing 10.6C according to NOAA data, but local sites that actually measure the temperature in the water, are showing temperatures 3-4C warmer than that. Posters here from the PNW seem very sceptical of the NOAA data.
