Even if you rent, you can find a decent place within walking distance to a beautiful beach for a reasonable price in SD. Try that trick in SF Bay Area.[/quote]
Nice unit spdrun.
The bay area doesn’t have beaches which are like So Cal’s. They have narrower beaches or a “coastline” usually with a dirt or pavement hiking path. Not only is most of the coastline too rugged from SC County northwards, the water is much too cold there and the wind is pretty high most of the year. Parts of the coast are actually inaccessible.
There are many, many reasons why life can be fantastic living in the SF Bay area but going to hang out at the beach all day in a swimsuit to play volleyball and have a bonfire later is not one of them.
