Unless you like wading into the water in swim trunks and a jacket. I always tell my kids, "the water is great once your legs go numb!"

You need a wetsuit to even think of swimming in the ocean there.

I live in Oregon, and I'd rather go to any of those "other" beaches.

Notice that he said Coast, not Beach. In Oregon, we don't call it the beach

We called it the beach growing up in Oregon.

When sitting on a beach in Spain, I often think, "this is nice, but its no Oregon".
