My son for the past two years played in a baseball tournament in Rehoboth. We always stayed in Bethany about a mile from the beach in a nice Condo community. Bethany is a nice little beach town. My wife & my daughter really like the beach. I am not crazy about it. I prefer the pool. On a side note last summer the one life guard I was talking to told me that they actually tagged a great white around those parts. The guy told me he usually stays out about a mile or more from shore but when he gets any closer than that they clear the beach. Not sure if it is true or not. I did find it kind of interesting though. 11 hours ago, Augie said: You and @plenzmd1 may have a genetic defect! Jk To each their own. I love summer, as I love to get a good sweat in. Fall is maybe my favorite, with football and nice crisp weather. You can open the house up...it’s glorious. BUT the dread of winter is a wet blanket. It’s like a horrible job that makes you feel ill Sunday morning for the dread of Monday. Don't you live in Atlanta? How bad can the winters be there? Winters, especially the one we had last year is downright depressing in WNY. I am waiting for my youngest to graduate high school & I already told the wife, I am leaving for warmer weather. I told her she could come with me or not, I really don't care either way. 1

You’d think Atlanta wouldn’t be too bad, but gray with low 40’s and raining is pretty sucky! I actually remember telling my mom as a kid I’d rather have 10 and snow than 40 and rain. I still believe that. Last winter was unusually miserable, with only a couple nice days over a 4 month stretch. (A friend from my Florida days moved up, and was seriously depressed, looking into light boxes and considered pulling the plug and going back.) Granted, it’s not as long as WNY, which was always what I hated the most....it would just never end! I’m not saying it’s worse by any means, just that after 18 years in Florida I came to expect 12 months of nice weather to play tennis or walk the dog. I’ve come to realize that weather is unusually important to me. My kids tell me growing up in Buffalo scarred me, and they just may be right!

We don't live in a beach region, but travel to New England and California at least a couple times a year. Always go to the beach then. There are some great swimming holes near me, though. Rivers are nice....maybe nicer than beaches. Edited July 18, 2019 by LeGOATski

A six footer swam within a few hundred yards of the beach a few weeks ago where I was sitting in NJ. The lifeguard rowed out and another joined on a jet ski. They kind of escorted it away from shore. Only kept swimmers out of the water for 30 minutes. I’ve seen similar size sharks paddle boarding in the mornings. Doesn’t thrill me but it happens. The rays and dolphins are way cooler and not scary.

Marv's Neighbor Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Used to love the Canadian Beaches, back when getting into Canada was not the adventure it has now become. When Bethlehem Steel was operating, used to watch them, from Ft Erie, dump the slag from the open hearth furnaces, into Lake Erie. They had a chute it used to run down, that resembled Kilauea at night. Good times!

707BillsFan Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Rarely. Beautiful scenery here, but usually very windy and cool. Water temps of the Pacific are always low-mid 50's w/ treacherous water conditions. Not the ideal beach day compared to the east coast, Atlantic. 1 1

I could live on a beach in a shack, that simple, it's my heaven on earth; some beaches are nicer, warmer but at the end of the day, the breeze, sounds, it's my graceland. after 18 years in Long Beach, i was a dive instructor (weekend job for fun) i made the move to S Florida and will never regret it. solo nights on the beach, acceptable provisions of my favorite libation (IPA if i'm winging it, Irish Whiskey if i'm being proper), a crackling fire and i am content. 3

I saw on shark fest there actually is a breeding ground for Great Whites right off of Long Island & another breading ground for sand tiger sharks at Montauk Bay(sp), so they said you will see a lot of juvenile white sharks around those parts.

Wow interesting, I always thought Atlanta was 50-60s in the winter, Sunny with a few cold days sprinkled in.

I went to visit my friend who moved out to Orange County last year back in early March. we went to Santa Monica Pier & Hunting Beach. I have been to numerous beaches on the east coast(Hilton head, myrtle beach, Daytona, Bethany, Jersey Shore etc....) but never was on a beach in the pacific side. We walked the pier as it was only in the low 60s those days. That ocean(pacific) I could tell you looks a lot meaner than the Atlantic side. The waves looked angry, the water looked colder & darker. I am not sure if I would let my kids going swimming in that.

If the water at the beach isn’t warm, I’m not turning blue trying to enjoy it! California and New England are beaches to LOOK AT the water, as far as I’m concerned. I prefer a pool over the beach as far as swimming goes. The Sarasota beach is just amazing though. White powder sand that doesn’t get hot, calm waters that allow you to wade out chest deep where you can look down and see your feet, fabulous sunsets.....I do miss that! My wife was in Newport Beach for work recently and came back saying she could live there. That’s unlike her to even notice so it must be a nice area. I’m sure it’s crazy expensive!
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Enjoy your fecal matter. 60% of US beaches have been found to be contaminated: https://weather.com/science/environment/video/fecal-bacteria-found-at-nearly-60-percent-of-us-beaches?pl=pl-the-latest Good thing Guys like @BringBackFergy @Cripple Creek and @Gugny got me reversing the flow and flushing the poo away from the beaches of Lake Michigan... They'd want more poo on the beaches with less flushing... /smh
