True,  But few places have the overall ambiance, great food, history, accessibility, affordability, and beaches as the med.[/quote]

Yes, although I do agree that if the only aim of the trip is a nice beach, probably not worth going that far.  But as part of a larger Spain/European trip, there are some really nice options.  Will also say that the specific beach towns I have been to in Italy and Spain aren't really replicated in the US, in my experience.  Everything is right up against the water, so you can rent a place 2 minutes walk away, and there are tons of places to eat/drink/gelato within a few hundred feet, and many of them are at least solid food-wise, and some are very good.  I feel like in the US you either have to schlep to the beach, or if you stay close it's either a somewhat trashy beach town, or nice and super expensive.  The nice towns we have been to in Spain and Italy have a great balance of all of it.[/quote]

US beach towns inevitably put a high-traffic road or even a highway between you and the beach.  it really disrupts the development of a nice beachfront experience.  You could try something like Avila Beach in California, where 101/1 is routed far north/west.  [/quote]

Seems like a nice place, but not really a "spend all day in and out of the water" place because of the water temperature.  [/quote]
