[quote=Anonymous]I have lived on both coasts and gone on lots of beach vacations both places (as well as in other countries).

It's true many people on the west coast tend to be a bit more activity/sport focused at the beach, but it's not everyone. There are lots of people on the west coast who do the whole lounging on the beach with a cooler and letting kids play in the sand and surf thing. It's more common in SoCal than NoCal, but that is more a function of weather than anything else.

And I know lots of people (myself included) who tend to focus on sports activities on the beach more than sunbathing and playing in the sand. I love ocean kayaking and body boarding. Surfing on the east coast sucks and is not really worth the effort, but not he other hand snorkeling and swimming are more fun because the water is warmer and often calmer. I'm also a beach runner. However, I currently have a child under the age of 5, so we actually do a lot of the stuff OP calls boring, because that's what our kid wants to do and can do. When she is older, I definitely want to do more active stuff with her, and take her out on boats. But she can't even swim yet, so we're obviously not going bodyboarding or taking her on a kayak in deep water.

I feel like OP's whole premise is probably flawed and based on the differences in the sorts of people they have interacted with on each coast, as well as their stage of life.

Who doesn't enjoy reading a book on the beach now and then? What a weird complaint.[/quote]
