Current Events > What is the best beach you've ever been to, and where is it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Challaborough, Devon, the UK. I used to go there when I was younger, usually for a week. Beautiful beach, relatively clear water, lots of great surf, also boulders and rock formations to climb on. I remember seeing a topless woman sunbathing there, in plain sight, when I was in my early teens.

Malibu. Collected a shit ton of sea glass just casually walking people's "private" beaches. But it's cold on that side of the states. Destin, FL has beautiful sandy beaches, but not much in the way of shore collectibles.

Waipio Valley black sand beach on the Big Island of Hawaii has been the nicest beach Ive ever been to.

---

Negril Jamaica. Six miles of white sand beaches, clear blue ocean and weed everywhere.

But Jamaica still smokes that stringy shit.

Normandy, but there was a storm

Punta Cana baybay!

Probably in Jamaica I guess

Honestly though I have better memories of going to Lake Simcoe

Bora Bora, French Polynesian.

Although our room in Moorea, French Polynesia was better since we had an overwater bungalow.

Answers so far tend to gravitate toward exotic places.

For me though it was Point Pleasant, NJ. It's like a 20-30 minute drive away from Seaside where they filmed Jersey Shore, but it's a bit more quaint and a lot less "Jersey Shore-like." Usually whatever hotel you stay at owns the beach property so you can usually take coolers full of beer, liquor, whatever the hell you want to the beach as long as the motel allowed it. Every other beach I've gone to, that shit was against the rules and you had to hide your alcohol in an empty sunscreen bottle or eat ham soaked in rum like an episode of Always Sunny in Philly.

Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. Our last trip before the pandemic

My grandma used to live in Point Pleasant, it was alright I guess. Never liked jersey beaches.

the nicest one I was at was one in Thailand

---

Some of the islands in the Mediterranean are alright.

I prefer the Virgin Islands though, warmer water, whiter sand, clearer water and a larger variety of marine life.

Ipanema
Laguna Beach

Myrtle Beach. It was cool. The only other one I went to was in Japan, and it was disgusting.

---

A beach on Culebra, an island some miles from Puerto Rico. It's as ridiculously scenic as a travel agency's photoshopped brochure.

The problem is, you have to go to Culebra to get there.

Dominican Republic? I've been there. Got caught in the middle of jellyfish though lol.

Icelandic east fjords

Pidgeon Point, Tobago

We took a boat ride with a see-through glass on the bottom to look into the ocean.
---

I live like two hours away from myrtle beach, so I have been there countless times growing up. Sometimes it was just to go fishing from the pier or boat with my dad and whatnot.

---

I went to Daytona Beach once when I was like 6, and that's the only beach I've ever gone to.

Waikiki beach in Hawaii, pretty beach with clear warm water.

West coast has some nice looking beaches but that water is too damn cold.
