[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. I’d skip it. Summers on the warm soft east coast sand beaches, with their people sitting under umbrellas enjoying a sea breeze and reading books got nothing on a rocky west cost beach with its waves crashing on large rocks. And the numerous food places, games, rides, and bars and restaurants are nothing like the pristine desolation of coastal Olympic peninsula. [/quote]

Right, a crowded boardwalk with fried food and bars is MUCH better than the Olympic peninsula.

OP, I’m with you. I grew up in California and find the East Coast beach vacation to be excruciating. The beaches are ugly and crowded here, and beach towns are expensive and over developed. And I even grew up near a California beach town where it is warm enough to sit on a towel for a while (Avila Beach.) [/quote]

Oh yeah, because the beaches are so empty and stunning in California.  That's if you like heroin needles and the smell of urine from the local homeless encampment.  No wonder people travel from all over the world to go to...... Avila Beach.... [/quote]

Well Avila is more crowded than when I grew up - but that’s mostly local travel. The fact that it’s not a big tourist destination is a feature, not a bug. I think that’s what the DC posters don’t quite get - the difference between being surrounded by thousands of opportunities for gorgeous and stunning outdoor recreation, and the incredibly limited roster here (OBX or Bethany or climb a hill that they call a mountain!)[/quote]

Um, there's plenty of outdoor opportunities on the east coast.  I cant even believe the bizarre fiction that there aren't.  Like... it literally makes no sense.  West coast beaches you can't even get in the water without a full wetsuit yet OUR beach activities are limited?  LOL.  Make it make sense!  The delusion... [/quote]
