Agree again. SoCal is unrivaled in beaches. Too many people, in too small a space, is the reason for these sad rules being put in place.

No it's not! I lived in San Diego 94-96. While the beaches were nice, the water was cold and the sand was crappy. Here in Clearwater, FL, the beaches are drop dead gorgeous. White sand, warm water...
Now if you want surfing and waves, then there are none in the gulf, so that's out. But as far as pristine beaches go, you're smoking some good california weed if you think any Socal beaches outpace Clearwater or other west coast florida beaches (Destin also comes to mind).
