Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
When we went through California several years ago, we were generally surprised at the cool temps at the beach in May/June, from Santa Monica Pier all the way up through Oregon. I felt very deceived by Baywatch! LOL
Even in San Diego, the water is WAY too cold fo dis ha'ole. All the Frankie and Annette movies of my youth seemed like a big lie. Of course, it's that relatively cold water that makes the costal area so livable I suppose. On our Highway 101 adventure some years back (from BC to BC - British Columbia to Baja California) we noticed how pleasant it always was - until we ventured 10 miles toward the interior. Then it was just HOT in the summer! YMMV
