Closest beach to dc?

From what I've been reading if you went really nice beach you gotta go a bit down south others you can check out the Delaware, Maryland and Virginia beaches. I was thinking about Myrtle beach. Yes, it's far but I'm picky and my past beach experiences have been at Destin, Maui and Long Beach. I want beaches that are close to that in quality. I'm not sure if there's really anything good from VA all the up the East coast.

Op here- I want a clean beach with some basic ammenities close by (restaurants etc). I am from California so my beach standards are high- not expecting much from beaches around here! Just looking for fun atmosphere within a 2 hr drive from dc. Sorry i was not more specific!

I was going to help before you revealed yourself to be a beach snob. Figure it out your own damn self.

Ouch.
Rehoboth beach is nice but it's over a 2 hr drive.

Every beach is going to be more than a 2-hour drive. Rehoboth is the closest.

You definitely sound Californian.

Fellow Californian here. I'd try to find a lake or riverfront town/park. Beaches here suck!

But we have jobs in DC.

There are crappy beaches within two hours. Beautiful beaches within 4-6. You are closest to the Chesapeake bay here, not the ocean, so the beaches that are truly close aren't that nice.

Fellow beach snob here. Myrtle beach, NJ beaches, NE beaches are all a great bet. Ocean City is too commercial and OBX is kind of dumpy (though people here are nuts about it).

Another fellow Californian here. This sums it up.
