[quote=Anonymous]It’s actually usually not overcast in SF in August either. IMO the CA beaches are so much better than the east coast, especially the mid Atlantic ones!

Southern California has the more traditional white sand, wide beach tract, swimming, volleyball beaches. Loved Huntington, Laguna, and Mission Beach (San Diego). Santa Barbara is great in August. Pismo up the coast is very kid/family friendly.

In Northern California the beaches are gorgeous BUT they are more dangerous. The cliffs can be unstable so pay attention to signs even if you see other people climbing on them. Pay attention to warnings too. Sneaker waves are less common but they happen. The waves at Half Moon Bay are awe inspiring but it is not a place I would swim. Carmel has beautiful beaches but intense rip currents. Santa Cruz/Aptos/Monterey looks really inviting but it’s cold, rip currents and our sharks are big though they tend not to eat tourists just locals.

Tahoe water is cold. Don’t dive in from your boat. However August is great for paddle boarding, jet skiing, boating.
