Enjoy this video? Check out my NEW playlist of the videos I've done comparing Florida to California ruclips.net/p/PLTQbOpui9NO_NhNMw7dON368s31rga0ho
their no city in Florida is as beautiful as San Francisco……i wonder why too people in Florida are uneducated working for those minimum pay check u got a racist little bastard governor his name is Ron Desantis……Florida will never be richer than California……California is the 4th largest economy in the world……Florida and their fake ass hollywood gotta copy California…..
I've been to Miami Beach and Key West and I have to say Florida has way better beaches. That's my personal preference.
Nothing wrong with that everyone has their preferences. I enjoy both
I'll take South Florida any day.
u take Florida any day because u enjoy the hurricane that will destroy your house 😄
AirConditioner running all year in Florida...Red Tide in Florida...no surfing in Florida...old retired married couples in Florida....water is bathwater warm in Florida...
Soupy fishy warm water in Florida....
@@stevewalther2293 Im having a hard time seeing how a "red tide" is a bad thing
I prefer Florida, beaches are nicer, warmer water, lots of to do, nature.
u prefer Florida because Florida be havin that hurricane every year that will destroy your damn house 😄
@@stevenjohnson8736 Hurricanes happen every 4+ years
There's far more to do in CA than FL if you're into outdoor recreation. Endless national parks, rivers that you can go in without gators/snakes, lakes, mountains. Not even remotely comparable.
Florida definitely has way better beaches and warmer water but SoCal has perfect weather while Florida weather is absolutely dreadful 😂. If money weren’t an object I would leave fl for San Diego in a heartbeat
Nice comparison! Florida beaches are way better in my opinion!!
Thanks glad you liked it!
Gulf side Florida! 😎
Lived in Laguna Beach California in the early 80's renting a 4 bedroom house on a cliff going down to Victoria Beach -- $700.00 a month. I can't even guess what it would rent for now-a-days. Anyway, I moved to Port Charlotte in August from Colorado and I love it. I was last in SoCal back in 2003-07 and it was crazy crowded and too much taxes, fees and rules and regulations.
Wow the changes that have happened in Southern California since then are enormous. Must be so strange to witness that
I grew up in SoCal. Used to surf Hermosa, Manhattan Beach, south Torrance in the early morning. Then drive up Artesia Blvd and go shower in the swimming pool shower at the high school and go to classes for the day. But it always felt kind of crowded in SoCal -- that's why I moved to Boulder CO in the early 70'x.
@@rexmonarch2 it’s pretty cool you got to experience this place back in its heyday
We live in California and love it, but definitely prefer the beaches in Florida where we will be retiring soon!😎
Oh nice, Florida is a great place to retire, and of course a lot cheaper
I disagree with beach water temperature in California…it’s absolutely TOO Cold year-round to swim in compared to Florida Water!!
Haha not for me 😄 Even went to the beach here in Stinson Beach near San Francisco, video coming on that soon 😎
@@MichaelBordenaro i live in that area man, its freezing! lol but I do love the coldness. You forget how cold it is after awhile. Did you check out Santa Cruz areas or monterey? There are thicker courser sand up north.
Not in Southern California in the late summer (August/September). It can get warm, especially if there are heatwaves. And then it's actually better to have cool water rather than warm water.
People swim all the time in California
I’ve spent time in California and in Florida, I prefer Florida climate, and gulf coast beaches, much more tropical.
That seems to be the consensus for the most part in the comments
@@MichaelBordenaro I'll take the good waves and awesome sunsets of SoCal beaches anyday! If you want to swim in a bathtub with high humidity, no waves and bugs, go to Florida. Please!
Florida aint as beautiful as California tho
@@stevenjohnson8736 the weather isn’t even better in Florida. It’s just more humid
The Florida beaches are the greatest in North America. The gulf of Mexico beaches are my favorite.
Bahamas have the best in North America by far. Also Hawaiian beaches are much much nicer than FL beaches. You can actually find a beach that isn't crowded plus it has the rugged coastline.
You’ve never been to California then because that is not the case at all Florida beaches are somewhat similar to each other while California beaches can literally be a beach off a cliff or with a cliff behind it as a natural wall or it can be similar to a floor of the beach works like a whole city
@@TheRunoben Agreed FL beaches look very similar. Basically always loaded with condos and of course flat. CA offers far more variety and isn't loaded with buildings.
Southern California is more Beautiful!! than Florida too me...Florida so have real nice beaches.. the air in California is lovely!! especially in San Diego, Ca..Both States are a real beauty! I lived in California & visited Florida twice in my lifetime ~
I live in Canada and just visited Chicago with my family. Love watching your Florida and California content. Subscribed and incredibly blessed to watch your videos and learn the differences between these great states!
Oh nice! Very cool to know you enjoy my content, thanks so much for watching✌️
Ill take Florida beaches over Cali at any day as same as i would take Cali scenic beauty over Florida. Also, don’t forget that you would pay x 5 $$$ for that beauty, and for that $$$ you can go to Hawaii, which is much cooler than both Cali and Florida.
Yea but u can’t swim in cali beach s so what’s the point that’s my opinion for me I want to go to get in the water but that’s my opinion not every one goes to swim
@@kangaroojack7678Buy a wet suit and call it a day.
@@thsarethbreaks no tks I ll stick to my skin bathing in the water in Florida cold water sucks
I lived in California 54 years, just moved to Hollywood FL
You failed to mention that days like the ones you filmed are very rare indeed in Southern CA
The beaches in CA are usually overcast , windy , cold and cloudy , the ocean freezing even in the summer
When its 100 degrees in the Valley its 70 and cold at the beach
You just cannot compare the beauty and warm ocean we enjoy here in Florida, i moved here only for the beaches and live only a block away from the Hollywood Broadwalk , hands down we have the best beaches in the country in FL
Thank God I moved here
If you wanna see ghetto people on the beach just go to Santa Monica
Please Californians stay there and don't move to Florida, i want it all for me
One hundred per cent true.
OMG, Charles, we did the same thing & probably bought close to where you are. We love Florida beaches so much more. Just being able to use the water for swimming is huge. Hollywood & Oceanside, though, are very similar beach towns. I will miss the CA coast, but more for driving and views. But yes, Californians, it's really not worth uprooting. Just stay put.
Yep. I just went to va Beach and even at night it's still warm out there vs Cali
@@stephanieburns4560
My daughter is also Stephanie lol
I totally agree with you , for driving and views CA is very pretty , but the water is just so cold you can’t enjoy it
We’re so happy here , every body of water is just paradise !!
👏🔥
Nice comparison! I do prefer the beaches in FL since it's more vibrant with warm waters compared to CA. On the other hand, CA has the best weather too.
Yeah that is the dilemma California superior around whether or Florida is more beautiful beaches
I told my friend who's from and lives in Virginia that west coast beaches are different from southern beaches down to the amount of sand/walking distances. Thanks for making this
Oh yeah the beaches can change a lot depending on location
Thanks for the video. I love the CA beaches except for the water temps! I was just in the FL panhandle and it was similar temps.
You’re welcome I love them to the cold water doesn’t bother me when it’s warm out
Very helpful. I have been to florida last year so I can relate
1. Florida beaches are relatively narrower than LA beaches which are very wide
2. Florida beach relatively go deeper quickly than LA beeches where you have to wade too far (in my opinion)
3. Water is cold in LA than in FL
4. Highrise building in florida beaches vs low rise in LA. Live right on front of the beach in LA
5. Sea wead is different in both places
6. Mostly sunny in LA, usually cloudy in FL
7. Great white sharks in LA, other type of sharks in FL
Thanks Hammad! They both have their pros and cons for sure this pretty much sums it up
@@MichaelBordenaro your video was lively. Looking forward to my trip in LA!
Awesome video! I laughed so hard when you mentioned great white sharks- my biggest fear when I lived in Malibu. One bonus about swimming in Florida- you can see a shark coming lol 🏖🦈
Yes no kidding you can definitely see a shark coming in Florida most of the time lol
West Coast beaches are rougher and colder. You get much north of L.A. and it starts getting rocky with cliffs as well and way too cold for swimming. If you want ocean beaches in Ca definitely check out San Diego. There's a lot of great nature in Ca for sure but beaches (anything involving water actually) are generally better on the East Coast from my experience. Fishing, water sports, surf quality, fresh water access like springs and lakes etc. --I think Fl has Ca beat in that regard.
No doubt the beach is a rougher and colder here. I actually went to Stinson Beach up north near San Francisco and it was actually pretty awesome. Video on that coming soon. But in general yes Florida’s water is much more forgiving for outdoor activities
Yeah but whose swimming in a lake in Florida ? They have alligators
The exact video was waiting for. Good stuff and thank you for doing this comparison and showing Laguna and OC a little.
Glad you liked it!
@@MichaelBordenaro So do you have a preference, or like aspects of each?
@@TheRealJohnWack I enjoy different aspects of both really. For me the biggest enjoyment factor right now is escaping the heat in Miami. I love the beaches there all year but actually the cold water in California doesn’t bother me especially on a hot day. Then I actually prefer it
I have always wonder what the differences were between the two also I think we have to look at the dew point as far the humidity goes....thanks for the video!
Glad I could point out a bunch of the differences for you Nancy. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant observations regarding the sun intensity and the sea mist from the Pacific! However being from New York, I much prefer the Miami scene. To paraphrase an old saying, LA is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
Thanks Andrew! I hear you and it being a nice place to visit instead of living👌
I say the same about NYC--nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there. Been a few times.
And I'm from LA (prefer it to NYC).
As far as Miami, the humidity is a big con for me. If I had to choose a 3rd option, I prefer San Diego. It's a clean modern city, with great views.
I just got to FL from CA, and I could immediately tell drastic difference in humidity. Before I left CA yesterday I checked humidity in CA and FL, and it was showing nearly the same humidity in both states but when I got to FL it was polar opposite from what it was when I left CA even though it shows the same on the weather app it feels completely different
Yes that’s a very curious thing with the humidity levels being basically the same but it being so much more muggy in Florida. I’m not a weather expert but I did notice the difference
You have to look at the dew point. Usually if the dew point is above 70°, it means it's very humid. It's usually about 74° dew point in Miami Beach.
@@CutThroatBeast Correct. The dew point along with the humidity levels makes the world of a difference. Dew point levels in Florida are usually above 70 everyday. Hence why it is so muggy. Dew point levels go down in Florida December through April. The main reason for the huge influx of Snowbirds. Then they get the hell out of the state come May.
It feels like shit SWEAT CITY
Nice video, thank you!
You’re welcome Mike thanks for watching
Interesting. On a side note. Me and my wife have been checking out Portugal. Houses and Flats for sale, with an eye on bailing from the U.S. We want something totally different.
A lot of Americans are moving there now. We actually know a few people who have from Florida. Although it is driving up the prices there as well with so many rich foreigners moving in
@@MichaelBordenaro , I am checking it out.
Florida is the best 👌
The way you described the air at the cali beaches makes me want to go there immediately 😄🌊
Hey Michael, Very excellent job with the comparison between California beaches & Florida beaches.... Really enjoyed hearing your personal point of view & great comparison points made!!!
As a former Californian that loves & adores everything California... I have to say I enjoy both California & Florida beaches, however, the Florida beaches overall are the bigger winner for me and was a major draw for me to leave California & move to Florida full time (3 years ago).
California beaches are better for exercise due to the perfect year round weather which is cooler & has no humidity. There is an over abundance of California beaches that have some form of a boardwalk to walk, jog, skateboard or bike along!!! It is just a very California thing to do & also the perfect weather permits it!!! However, having a boardwalk to exercise on is not that common in Florida & unfortunately rare to find.
Also, as you notice there are Volleyball nets everywhere on all the California beaches, again, the weather is better for playing Volleyball. Also, Surfing is superior in California & is what California is famous for!!! Add in the scenic California Mountains & Hills in the background.... Just Awesome!!! So, for outside exercise at the beach, California wins in this category!!!
However, this true Californian was drawn to the beautiful, clean beaches of Florida with the nice, WARM, clean ocean that you can actually swim in year round!!! For me, the Pacific ocean was too cold even in the Summertime. When I am at the Florida beaches & swimming in the nice, WARM, clean ocean, I feel like I am on a "Tropical Vacation"!!! The Florida Beaches with the WARM ocean was a Big Factor in leaving California & moving to Florida!!! Overall, Florida beaches wins for this Californian... now a Floridian!!!
Great video! You need a summer home in California and winter home in Florida.
I know maybe one day😉
66 degrees in Pensacola at midnight last night, while it was 81 in Miami. This is the time of year when you start to see the difference in temps between north and south FL, and lasts right through April.
Yep that’s a pretty big difference! Also why I think northern Florida might be better for me
@@MichaelBordenaro Yes, Pensacola is on my retirement destination list, but winters might be too cold. Not uncommon to see winter day-time temps in the 30s and a few days in the 20s, and brief snow flurries every few years. But the beaches are great and COL is not yet too outrageous. By the way, fun fact: it's about the same driving distance fromKey West to Pensacola as it is from Pensacola to Chicago - about 850 miles.
Great comparison Michael! Looking forward to hitting the beach in California soon! 😍
Thank you Ralphie you should come out for a visit when you get a chance. I recommend Summer
@@MichaelBordenaro You’re welcome, definitely will! Very Beautiful footage there!
Nice shot of you and your Mom!!! 😊😊❤️❤️
Thanks 😄
I like Cali beaches during the day, but nothing beats Florida beaches at night.
Florida
Florida beaches for me are hands down better than west coast / California. South Carolina beaches are beautiful as well .
Beaches! Only in Florida. Amazing and my favorite … Naples! I wish I can have a house there. ❤️
Thank you for this informative and entertaining video! If Cali wasn't so expensive......and didn't have earthquakes,.....I would definitely live there.
You’re welcome! It’s funny that most people here don’t seem to really be concerned with the earthquakes
@@MichaelBordenaro I've heard that, but it would me.
@@SC-gp7kt me too!
1st person to mention the earthquakes. I live in Canada and always amaze at the different weather throughout USA. Wants to move to Florida but scared of the hurricanes.
These were really good points. Funny, how you like CA so much. I guess the grass is always greener, or the beach always whiter, but I really do just like having an ocean you can use (unless you surf). I lived in LA above the beach for a few years & maybe went into the water 2 times. My body just said "no!". I go swimming more than once a day in FL. My body says "Yes!"
The main thing I enjoy about the beaches here in California it’s just the lower temperatures since it’s scorching hot in Miami every day this time of year. But as far as living on the beach goes I don’t think you can beat Florida beaches👌
Hermosa Beach, another place you have visited where I used to live. Had a place just off the strand. You should consider in your comparison is early summer, primarily June to around early mid July, there is lots of fog. It’s referred to as June gloom.
I love it here, probably my favorite beach in California! We did get some fog in the mornings, but not all day. We got lucky 😄
That’s the video I’ve always wanted someone to do
I'm glad I didi it then!
Nice comparison video. I think it comes down to personal preference on what is better. Especially when it comes to air and water temperature. I don't have to live on the beach. Mostly because I can't afford to in a house the way I would like on the beach. I could settle for being able to drive a short distance. Ideally, if I were rich, I would like a house on the water on a canal or something in south Florida. I like the clear water of Florida. I need to be able to see the bottom easily. Florida has close to the clarity of the Caribbean. I like that. I like the vibe of south Florida beaches. I like the younger active life style and all the many cultures. South Florida has a more international feel that I prefer from many cultures and social economic backgrounds. Great content. Looking forward to more. Thanks
Thanks Randall, you are totally right man. Its all personal preference. For me it comes down to the time of year, I am enjoying being here in CA in the summer. But I do love the calm clear waters in FL a lot too! Lot's more coming soon!
@@MichaelBordenaro tell me this how many time has racist Florida hosted summer Olympics 0 California hosted 2 the thie third one will be in 2028
Well done video on the comparison of the two states. I’m a native Southern Californian but I now live in Southwest Florida and live close to the gulf. Florida beaches as a whole are much nicer in almost every way.
Warm and humid is Florida and I love the greenery everywhere in Florida. Thank you for your efforts. Keep up your videos.
Thanks a lot! I do enjoy both but especially the calmness of the waters in Florida are more preferential for me. Glad you’re enjoying the videos. I have more comparison content coming
@@MichaelBordenaro I also really enjoy the calmer beach waters, another good point.
I feel like there's a major celebrity visiting my county! 😅🤪
Ha ha thank you Liz😄
Great video!!!!
Thanks Kaaren!
That CA beach looks brown, drab and boring. There’s no vegetation and very few palms. The beaches of Florida’s west coast, backed up by tropical flora and with turquoise water, talcum white sand and gorgeous skies and islands offshore, beats those CA beaches. Of course things are different up in Monterey along that area of the pacific coastline with its sequoia forests, cliffs and idyllic towns.
To each his own of course. I enjoy both but of course being in California in the summer is the best time. I wouldn’t want to be at the beach here in the winter
@@MichaelBordenaro glad to see you made it up to the San Fran area. One of my favorite areas of the USA. Really spectacular scenery there.
@@CarlWithACamera yes I love this area too. Mainly for its natural beauty and forestry and the fresh air if you’re out of the city. The city is so messed up right now so I’m not staying there this time and it’s nice to be out in nature here
Southern cali is desert like no joke
Lol no palms? So you never been to Venice beach? I mean there’s plenty in this video.
Agree mist in California and ocean smell like that scene in 1987 movie Lost Boys opening scene
You can really smell it!
11:39 What?!!! 🔆 No Baywatch music?!! 🏖 😆 🏝🏃🏊♂️🦤🐟🌴🍹🔆
Hahaha not this time 😆
Isn’t California beaches colder then Florida beach s and isn’t the water colder to swim in California
Oh yes, the water in California is colder, but I enjoy it in the summer time
Santa Barbara and San Francisco is 73 degrees about half the summer Santa Monica is usually 80 or 84 degrees from July to September
Such beautiful weather!
Was skating along the boardwalk from Redondo to Manhattan beach, this WK, love the area and some of the houses are so nice, but the water is too cold for me to get more than my feet in the water!! 🥶🥶 I’m used to Miami water temperatures! And as you said Florida is more affordable to us!!
Yes I love this area to such a fun place to be. I don’t mind getting in the water on a warm day😀
So I can't afford to move to either beautiful places
You and many others Mark. You’re not alone
I usually stay in Hermosa Beach or Redondo when I visit LA and it’s a great area. I’ve lived in the Tampa area for over 17 years and Florida is just fine. We take weekend trips around the state several times a year. I like Hollywood Beach in south Florida because of the broad walk. Similar to Hermosa and Redondo. I prefer the Suncoast of Florida on the west coast for beach days. My pick for where I would want to be if money wasn’t a factor is none of them. Mission Beach and Pacific Beach in San Diego is my number 1. You have a board walk like both of them but you have a laid back environment that is unmatched by any of them. San Diego is the best place in the USA bar none.
I to enjoy both the Florida and California beaches. Interesting you say that Mission Beach is more laid-back than Hermosa though. I feel the opposite because in Mission Beach you have a ton of bars and restaurants right on the boardwalk which to me makes more riffraff. Here in Hermosa is mostly residential and you have to go a block off the beach to go to any bars or restaurants
The weather is better in California per low humidity. Not to mention Spiccoli lives there and he's Rad! Timmy C Arizona
Ha ha Spiccoli🏄
Appreciate your Videos. What is your opinion on Jax Beach? / Where would you recommend living if you're a surfer in Fl?
I remember when I would go to Daytona Beach, and I would see all of these large tall highrises. I was never used to that, as I live near Flagler Beach. If you remember Flagler Beach, then you would know that highrises are not really a thing. (This is because not everyone likes the idea of having towering structures above you at the beach, and it isn't that common to see a beach with no highrises in Florida when you're on the east coast. That's why it's like that over here if you didn't know.) So this was very interesting to see your perspective at Miami Beach. :)
Yep I have been to Flagler Beach so I know exactly what you’re talking about. It is pretty rare in that regard of having new high-rises on the beach
@Mario Walker904 yep
Great video my friend. I think i will stay with florida in this one. 🔥
Thank you Miguel! I do enjoy both, but there is no where I would rather be in the winter time than Florida 😎
Love this video, Michael. You are always so honest. Some of your comments made me laugh…”ghetto crowd”, “Great Whites scare the shot out of me.” Love it! We can always count on you for honesty. I will tske Florida beaches over California beaches (that includes going into the ocean) any day! They are prettier, have whiter, softer sand, and warmer, clearer water. That being said, the California coast is still very beautiful and the air is a lot cooler, which I am grateful for! Glad you are taking us on this journey with you and Lisi. Seems like big changes/adventures lie ahead for you both. I could see you living elsewhere in Florida, to buy a house, and then coming out this way for several months, during Florida’s hotter months. Glad you both are having fun here in California!
Haha thanks Jeannie, those comments are totally true 😄Everyone seems to prefer the Florida beaches from the comments and of course I love them too! It is nice to be here in the summer for sure. I could defnitely see us spending summers out here in the future. I actually really like northern California as well, espeically since it is much cooler than SoCal which is great when you want to escape the Miami heat. We'll see what the future holds, and I know you'll be along for the journey ✌️
@@MichaelBordenaro As we say in Southern California, "Fer sure!" ;-)
The water in Florida is hands down much prettier and more enjoyable to swim in. The coastline with all the cliffs and mountains in California are prettier. Southern California has the best weather. I grew up in ft Lauderdale but have lived in so Cal all my adult life. I still go visit Florida every year. It is truly a beautiful place
I agree on all fronts, its nice you come back to visit and still enjoy a bit of FL each year 😊
600sf on the beach in CA will run you 1.5M. 1800SF in Del Mar sold for 13M
Do doubt!
Both very pretty buy Florida wins hands down as far a beach just because the water is Warm in Florida
I can't argue with that!
Great comparison! The video was very entertaining. Both beaches have assets that make them beautiful. I have to give South Florida the W though
Thanks Mark! Glad to hear that! I agree, they both are cool in their own way. But I do live on a FL beach and I'm not complaining 😎
I was in Huntington Beach for 2 days in 2018 in March. It was freezing, but l was shocked at the wide beach there and how windy it was. It was pretty but l much prefer Florida!
I could see it still being kind of cold in March since it’s closer to winter than summer. Summers here are nice though. Of course I still love Florida😀
In CA some beaches have really rough like gravel instead of sand and some have only stones, no sand.
Yep we have some like that in Florida too
The 2 most beautiful states, and the only 2 places I would ever consider living in the US. Thanks for the awesome video!
Same for me. I feel like they’re the only two real choices as someone who loves the beach
New Jersey the Carolinas massachusetts (cape cod) and Oregon beaches are really nice too(I swam in Oregon in August a few years ago and it definitely wasn't too cold)
FL beaches all the way!
Florida beaches are better cause the water is more calm and it's more clear like a pretty turquoise, and in the winter time you can actually swim cause it's warm year round, socal beaches are nicer for surfing but the water is darker, has more sharks and it gets too cold during fall/winter months.
Agreed 👌
Ha ha like the picture of you and your mom in her pool 🐥
Ha ha I knew someone would think that was funny 😄
You can smell the wonderful salt air near the beautiful beaches in Rhode Island and Cape Cod - the best, imho. I love the beaches in San Diego and Jensen Beach, Sanibel, Bahia Honda and Barefoot Bay beaches in Florida.
I would imagine I would love all of these beaches too. They’re all unique and have their own beauty to them
@@MichaelBordenaro Yes!! 😎
Bahia Honda is one of my favs. Fort Zachary is beautiful imo as well
Love California beaches!! My favorite is the mist and smell that you described, when you get close to the beach you can smell it miles away. The reason I don't like Florida beaches as much is because of the humidity, too hot.
Long Island beaches are beautiful too. The only thing is we only have 6 months that are 70 degrees or higher each day. Appreciate this comparison, but the main thing is how flat Florida is versus how mountainous California is. Totally different terrain.
Never been up that way one day I’ll check it out. Yes it’s a rain out here is completely different than Florida. But it’s nice to get a little bit of a change for a while
U gotta go to the gulf beaches in Florida northern coast man the white sand and blue clear oceans are everything
I grew up in Orange Co. And spent a lot of time at the beach. Mainly Newport, Huntington, Laquna. A couple of other differences is the marine cover we called it being overcast. You never want to vacation at the beach in California in certain months like June. We called it June gloom! Also if there is a heat wave inland the coast steams up and the overcast is so dark and even cold surprisingly. I went to Florida once at Daytona beach and I wasnt too impressed but a lot of other beaches I'm sure are stunning. Seems to me southern Florida is more tropical than S. Calif which is known to be semi tropical. I'm curious to know about the bugs on the beach too!
That must’ve been really nice Lisa to grow up in that area! South Florida certainly is more tropical than California. Surprisingly there’s not that many bugs at the beach most of the time. We do get periods in the winter where you’ll get no see ums at the beach which can be quite a nuisance but usually it might only be for a week or two at a time
@@MichaelBordenaro thanks so much for replying to my comments I really appreciate your page!
@@lisaroinas436 you’re welcome!
ocean life baby
You know it👌
73 degrees 95% of the summer in Monterey
Try waimea beach in hawaii. Yeah. Pacific is strong shit. Waikiki can have big waves too but they dont suck you out and its perfect there.
I’ve lived in Florida for 16 years and now California for 11 years and it’s for sure known Florida beaches are way better. We miss it so much thanks to all your previous videos we are moving from San Francisco to Miami in December. Thanks Michael 👍
Would have to agree with you there! That will be a nice move! I am staying in Tiburon now across the bay. SF is a cool city, but right now I hate it....Too many stupid rules and homeless. Much prefer being north of the Golden Gate 👍Wishing you a safe move and an early welcome to Miami 😎
@@MichaelBordenaro Nice! I totally agree with you. I also lived in Marin little town called Novato. Enjoy your vacation! See you soon in Miami 🏝😎
@@500_niko Thanks! I am really digging Northern California a lot, I could see spending summers up here with nice cooler weather. Good change from humid 100 degree days. I'll be back in Miami end of the month ✌️
If you think those beaches in the LA area are wide, you should see the beaches where I live in Oceano Ca. Some sandy areas are over 2 miles wide during high tide.
wow that would be a sight to see
Yes - I really miss the sea mist and the smells. It is a big part of the California experince!
It is a very strong smell but refreshing!
@@MichaelBordenaro when i arrived in Fort Lauderdale the first thing I noticed was no salty misty ocean smells
Unless you are near Santa Barbara. All you can smell from the ocean is oil. AND you get it all over your feet in the summer.
@@MacGregorLassie Interesting that didn’t happen to me
@@mikemclane8821 yeah you really don’t get that much in Florida. Not sure why
lol I was waiting for you to mention Great Whites! I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area where the beach’s are too cold! I’ve been to Panama City Beach, Daytona Beach & Pensacola love every minute of it! if I had to pick a favorite beach in NorCal it would be Santa Cruz & Carmel….SoCal La Jolla , Coronado & Venice 🤙🏽
I went to Stinson Beach shortly after this video and even though it was cold it was a really warm day and I got in! 😄
Mike I've been watching your videos for two years now and I really want out of New York State (not nyc). I hope your real estate business is still up and running by the time I'm ready to make the move. I'm still deciding if I wanna go to Tampa or Miami.
I plan on keeping my real estate license for a long time, and as long as I have my team here to help me, rest assured you'll be in good hands. Hope you get to make your move soon my friend 😀
I have lived in California for many years and been to all California beaches. There is no way you can swim in California beaches even in the summer. Water is just too cold. you can only get your feet wet and surf and that's about it. Especially in northern California beaches the water is like ice and very cold. If you love to swim best bet is to go to Florida where water is warm mainly in southern parts.
Haha I had no problem getting in the water on a warm day, even was able to get a couple good days in the water at Stinson. But I do enjoy FL more of the beaches and California more for the mountains and cooler climate
welcome to Southern California I'm in Los Angeles-have fun
Thanks Luis!
They are beautiful in Florida and Skanky in california.
😆
Beaches in Northern and Central California are a lot different then the South. I live in Big Sur, California and we have beautiful beaches and Monterey Bay and Carmel by the sea are beautiful.
I live in Georgia and have been to Florida many times. But I've never been out west and would love to visit California
I grew up in Southern California, lived 4 years in Central America , 1 year on the A1A in Ft. Lauderdale. I now live in Hawaii on the island of Maui.
I will say Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area is as tropical as Central America. HI is actually Sub Tropical. Now my opinion on coasts, I prefer California beaches. Also note, Florida’s coastline is full of high rise Condominium complexes! Blocks the view unlike CA.
I like hearing from other beach people like yourself 😀. You have an interesting perspective and I appreciate you weighing in on it here 👌
There are seashells in CA and I live in Big Sur and there is a beach called sand dollar beach.
Oh nice I’ll have to check that out sometime next time I’m out there
Cali ❤️
A major point is that for 6 months a year Florida is incredibly HUMID....and VERY uncomfortable......California has a year round excellent climate......Florida beaches are great
but uniformly flat.......In California we have offshore Rocks....Cliffs and Tidepools to explore.
You got that right on the climate! I totally prefer California's climate over FL, but the beaches here are beautiful
I like your channel but I recently moved to Florida and your opinion of California is far different than your experiencing. Your there in the best time of year. Ocean areas has a lot of fog and overcast weather with average temperatures in the 60's. Also especially LA there is a lot of homeless. Water temperature is usually cold and you will be cold most of the year on the beach. I lived in both LA and San Diego and that's what the weather us truly like. If you like going to the beach year round and not having that real hot heat, go to Clearwater in the gulf. There is always a breeze and besides summer the average temp here otherwise is 78-82 degrees.
Down in Hermosa there’s hardly any homeless. It’s nothing like you see up by Santa Monica and Venice. Also the weather seems to be pretty nice here every day in the summertime. Don’t know about the rest of the year but the summer is all I’m concerned with. Anyway I love both
I live in clog or is a d honestly I’m glad we live in a country where both type of beaches exist.
It looks like low tide on your video. I can tell by the waves.
Good video
Thank you!!
Thank you for your awesome video but I will stick with Florida ❤️🌞shine state
😎✌️
And Im here in silly Texas weather :/ soon The Lord willing going to Florida love it so beautiful my type of weather for my lineage
Hoping you make it down!
I feel like most people here are just fans of humid weather because that’s the only difference in weather. It’s more humid in Florida, California has more diverse beaches, it has Florida looking ones, but it also has beaches with like different biomes on there. Some of them have nature trails, and some of them have whole cliffs
Florida has the best Beaches Better than any other state.
I am glad I have walked the beaches in both states. That was why working for the airlines benefits us.
Having to walk and have sand between your toes are nice in the warm weather all the time.😁😁😁
Thanks for walking on the beach.
Yeah you must’ve seen a ton of beautiful places in your time with the airlines
@@MichaelBordenaro Yes, California and Florida' beaches are really nice. And yes flying many places around the world has been.😁✈✈
Cool.
My pet peeve are skinny beaches. I need vast sand to feel like I am at the beach. Florida has better beach temp but so cal beaches are actual beaches with enough sand for everyone and more.
Great video! However you maybe should title this Florida vs Southern California beaches. Big difference in California beaches depending on whether you’re in San Diego or eureka
