I have been to many beaches in Southern California... Venice, Newport, Santa Monica, Long Beach but the best in my opinion... Laguna. I would have loved to ride my bike up those hills/mountains on the way to Laguna beach... maybe in the next life. I have been to tropical beaches where you can see live corals with thousands of multicolored fish swarming around in waist deep water (no need to even snorkel or scuba dive) but that was decades ago. As soon as these beaches were commercialized it took only 10 years tops for the natural beauty to disappear forever.

I'm not really that big on swimming period though. I haven't done it in years. But if I do go swimming, the water's gotta be warm.
