West Coast beaches are rougher and colder. You get much north of L.A. and it starts getting rocky with cliffs as well and way too cold for swimming. If you want ocean beaches in Ca definitely check out San Diego. There's a lot of great nature in Ca for sure but beaches (anything involving water actually) are generally better on the East Coast from my experience. Fishing, water sports, surf quality, fresh water access like springs and lakes etc. --I think Fl has Ca beat in that regard.

Hey Michael, Very excellent job with the comparison between California beaches & Florida beaches.... Really enjoyed hearing your personal point of view & great comparison points made!!! As a former Californian that loves & adores everything California... I have to say I enjoy both California & Florida beaches, however, the Florida beaches overall are the bigger winner for me and was a major draw for me to leave California & move to Florida full time (3 years ago). California beaches are better for exercise due to the perfect year round weather which is cooler & has no humidity. There is an over abundance of California beaches that have some form of a boardwalk to walk, jog, skateboard or bike along!!! It is just a very California thing to do & also the perfect weather permits it!!! However, having a boardwalk to exercise on is not that common in Florida & unfortunately rare to find. Also, as you notice there are Volleyball nets everywhere on all the California beaches, again, the weather is better for playing Volleyball. Also, Surfing is superior in California & is what California is famous for!!! Add in the scenic California Mountains & Hills in the background.... Just Awesome!!! So, for outside exercise at the beach, California wins in this category!!! However, this true Californian was drawn to the beautiful, clean beaches of Florida with the nice, WARM, clean ocean that you can actually swim in year round!!! For me, the Pacific ocean was too cold even in the Summertime. When I am at the Florida beaches & swimming in the nice, WARM, clean ocean, I feel like I am on a "Tropical Vacation"!!! The Florida Beaches with the WARM ocean was a Big Factor in leaving California & moving to Florida!!! Overall, Florida beaches wins for this Californian... now a Floridian!!!

We take weekend trips around the state several times a year. I like Hollywood Beach in south Florida because of the broad walk. Similar to Hermosa and Redondo. I prefer the Suncoast of Florida on the west coast for beach days. My pick for where I would want to be if money wasn’t a factor is none of them. Mission Beach and Pacific Beach in San Diego is my number 1. You have a board walk like both of them but you have a laid back environment that is unmatched by any of them.

If you remember Flagler Beach, then you would know that highrises are not really a thing. (This is because not everyone likes the idea of having towering structures above you at the beach, and it isn't that common to see a beach with no highrises in Florida when you're on the east coast. That's why it's like that over here if you didn't know.) So this was very interesting to see your perspective at Miami Beach. :)

I’ve lived in Florida for 16 years and now California for 11 years and it’s for sure known Florida beaches are way better. We miss it so much thanks to all your previous videos we are moving from San Francisco to Miami in December. Thanks Michael 👍

Would have to agree with you there! That will be a nice move! I am staying in Tiburon now across the bay. SF is a cool city, but right now I hate it....Too many stupid rules and homeless. Much prefer being north of the Golden Gate 👍Wishing you a safe move and an early welcome to Miami 😎

@@500_niko Thanks! I am really digging Northern California a lot, I could see spending summers up here with nice cooler weather. Good change from humid 100 degree days. I'll be back in Miami end of the month ✌️

That CA beach looks brown, drab and boring. There’s no vegetation and very few palms. The beaches of Florida’s west coast, backed up by tropical flora and with turquoise water, talcum white sand and gorgeous skies and islands offshore, beats those CA beaches. Of course things are different up in Monterey along that area of the pacific coastline with its sequoia forests, cliffs and idyllic towns.

Cali ❤️

Beaches in Northern and Central California are a lot different then the South. I live in Big Sur, California and we have beautiful beaches and Monterey Bay and Carmel by the sea are beautiful.

I live in Georgia and have been to Florida many times. But I've never been out west and would love to visit California

I grew up in Orange Co. And spent a lot of time at the beach. Mainly Newport, Huntington, Laquna. A couple of other differences is the marine cover we called it being overcast. You never want to vacation at the beach in California in certain months like June. We called it June gloom! Also if there is a heat wave inland the coast steams up and the overcast is so dark and even cold surprisingly. I went to Florida once at Daytona beach and I wasnt too impressed but a lot of other beaches I'm sure are stunning. Seems to me southern Florida is more tropical than S. Calif which is known to be semi tropical. I'm curious to know about the bugs on the beach too!

That must’ve been really nice Lisa to grow up in that area! South Florida certainly is more tropical than California. Surprisingly there’s not that many bugs at the beach most of the time. We do get periods in the winter where you’ll get no see ums at the beach which can be quite a nuisance but usually it might only be for a week or two at a time

If you think those beaches in the LA area are wide, you should see the beaches where I live in Oceano Ca. Some sandy areas are over 2 miles wide during high tide.

South Florida beaches is better than any beach in California or anywhere else, Hallandale Beach Florida Beach, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Hollywood Beach, all beautiful beaches.❤☀️

Long Island beaches are beautiful too. The only thing is we only have 6 months that are 70 degrees or higher each day. Appreciate this comparison, but the main thing is how flat Florida is versus how mountainous California is. Totally different terrain.

Never been up that way one day I’ll check it out. Yes it’s a rain out here is completely different than Florida. But it’s nice to get a little bit of a change for a while

I have lived in California for many years and been to all California beaches. There is no way you can swim in California beaches even in the summer. Water is just too cold. you can only get your feet wet and surf and that's about it. Especially in northern California beaches the water is like ice and very cold. If you love to swim best bet is to go to Florida where water is warm mainly in southern parts.

@MichaelBordenaro

Haha I had no problem getting in the water on a warm day, even was able to get a couple good days in the water at Stinson. But I do enjoy FL more of the beaches and California more for the mountains and cooler climate

I grew up in Southern California, lived 4 years in Central America , 1 year on the A1A in Ft. Lauderdale. I now live in Hawaii on the island of Maui. I will say Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area is as tropical as Central America. HI is actually Sub Tropical. Now my opinion on coasts, I prefer California beaches. Also note, Florida’s coastline is full of high rise Condominium complexes! Blocks the view unlike CA.

I like hearing from other beach people like yourself 😀. You have an interesting perspective and I appreciate you weighing in on it here 👌

A major point is that for 6 months a year Florida is incredibly HUMID....and VERY uncomfortable......California has a year round excellent climate......Florida beaches are great but uniformly flat.......In California we have offshore Rocks....Cliffs and Tidepools to explore.

I went to Stinson Beach shortly after this video and even though it was cold it was a really warm day and I got in! 😄

I just go to Hampton beach in New Hampshire and Maine ocean

Try waimea beach in hawaii. Yeah. Pacific is strong shit. Waikiki can have big waves too but they dont suck you out and its perfect there.

I like your channel but I recently moved to Florida and your opinion of California is far different than your experiencing. Your there in the best time of year. Ocean areas has a lot of fog and overcast weather with average temperatures in the 60's. Also especially LA there is a lot of homeless. Water temperature is usually cold and you will be cold most of the year on the beach. I lived in both LA and San Diego and that's what the weather us truly like. If you like going to the beach year round and not having that real hot heat, go to Clearwater in the gulf. There is always a breeze and besides summer the average temp here otherwise is 78-82 degrees.

Down in Hermosa there’s hardly any homeless. It’s nothing like you see up by Santa Monica and Venice. Also the weather seems to be pretty nice here every day in the summertime. Don’t know about the rest of the year but the summer is all I’m concerned with. Anyway I love both
