Which beaches?

I want to sneak off to the beach in Southern California (near LA) one of these weekends...which beaches are kid-friendly? Which ones are clean? Which ones are awful? I've never been to the beaches (except when I lived at one when I was a kid).

I've been to some beaches while growing up. When I was 8, I went to the beach in Florida. When I was 13, I went to the beach in California (I think it was Los Angeles or San Francisco). When I was 27, I went to Key West... several beaches there.

Coronado Beach in San Diego is the best I've seen in So Cal. I know of a muscle beach area in Northern LA where its even prohibited for fat people to expose too much. It really is a town ordinance! LOL

I've been to many beaches ... Manhattan Beach (LA), Brighton Beach (NYC), and many more. So far I think The Outer Banks, NC is the best beach, because it is old fashioned beach, with full of activities. You can learn 2 hours of flying course, and you start to fly on your own with gliders, etc. You can learn how to sail, kayaking, among others. Also they got very good waves - perfect for surfing.



Check the video on their website.

Mission Bay Beach in San Diego is my favorite. So much to do there from shops, restaurants parks, a bay on the other side of the beach, an amusement park, and a long boardwalk that extends for miles and miles. It does get crowded and parking can be hard to find during the summer.

Long Beach, Santa Monica Beach and Malibu Beach r other great beaches to go to.

Yep. I was looking for good beaches in the Southern California area - there are so many of them but I wasn't sure which ones were good, etc.

However, I'm a flexible person - if you know of a good beach somewhere outside of Southern Cali, go ahead and tell us all about it!

Ocean City, MD is a GREAT beach..LOL! I am biased cuz I am a Marylander.

For me, most beaches will do but Mission Bay Beach in San Diego always has a special place in my heart due to so many memories of vacationing there each summer when I was a kid. Last time I was there was 2 years ago and it is still just as great!
