OT – Beach Culture. Florida, Texas, Hawaii, California? Which is best?

[UCGal]

[quote=sdrealtor]Ah yes the fudgie wudgie guys! The beaches there are also much cleaner as the cleaned every morning during the season. However, you have to buy a beach badge to get access to the beach.

You glossed over the nicest part which is Ventnor, Margate and Longport. That where the big Philly/South Jersey money is. Also missed LBI (Long Beach Island) which is a wonderful quiet island very similar to the Carolinas with sand dunes. Above that it gets New Yorkie and very crowded aka Seaside Heights (home of Jersey Shore reality show)[/quote]
I glossed over because my husband’s family is more blue collar – North Wildwood types.
But one of his wealthier cousins has a place in Margate.

Wow is this thread ever touching a nostalgic nerve! My grandparents used to live on Long Beach Island at Barnegat Light, still one of my favorite lighthouses. Havn’t been there in years. About a week after my grandparents died their quaint little cape cod was replaced with a massive contemporary. We really used to love to go “down the shore” to Grandma’s house when I was a kid. Mothball smell in the attic is something I’ll never forget. The trip down from Philly was always interesting as well; a family of seven stuffed into a 1963 VW bug. I’m rubbing my legs now reminiscing about the cramps I used to get from sitting in the little well behind the back seat with my younger brother. Good luck trying to pull that off today.

LBI is really nice, kind of like a poor man’s Outer Banks.

Go to Loveladies in LBI and tell me its poor man’s Outer Banks. My next door neighbors growing up had a house in LBI and their neighbor was Billy Joel.

CD
You dont know the real Jersey Shore. One of my best friends parents own 2 lots at the the point of Absecon Island. It is as good as it gets any where in US.

Maybe I mean it’s not as snobby as the Outer Banks. Didn’t mean to imply it was cheap. Barnegat does have a more “homey” feel to it, or at least it used to.
