Bi-Coastal Beaches!

Growing up in Southern California I have been going to the beach since I was an infant. My grandfather has a beautiful beach house I would go to with all of my family. It is located in Capistrano Beach, CA right on the Pacific Ocean. It is in Orange County and its north border is California State Beach Doheny. Capistrano Beach is my first memories of a beach. When I first went to a beach on the east coast in the Hamptons I was aware of some differences that the west coast doesn’t have. I remember thinking that it was my first time in the Atlantic Ocean. Then it dawned on me that it snows on these beaches! Such a weird thought because it doesn’t snow on the beaches in California. The coldest it gets is in winter and surfers still go out in wetsuits. Today I went to the beach in Southampton, NY, this was not my first time here but I was really studying the beach and comparing it to the beaches I go to in California. I really enjoy the land that the houses have between them and around them. A lot of the development in southern California is very tight. In Newport Beach, CA the houses are so close to each other they are practically touching (some do). In the Hamptons there is distance and privacy between the houses. The scenic landscape that surrounds these beach houses is beautiful. The beaches on the east coast are beautiful.

Above is a picture of a house in Southampton Beach. As you can see the house has plenty of space and their neighbors are far away. 

 

Above is a picture of Newport beach from an arial view. As you can see the houses are very close together.

Overall I love both the east and west coasts. The beaches are beautiful at both and I am thankful to have been able to visit both and share my experiences. If anyone ever has a question about beaches to go to in either coast I would love to help!
