Last year, I went to San Diego and a few beaches near it, but it was a very cool scene, for me at least. The weather was perfect, like 75 degrees or so, and everyone was just walking the streets in sandals, either heading to the beach or heading to the bars. My soccer team I was with were all just smoking on the sidewalk, it was nice. I went into a couple head shops right off the beach and all had amazing pieces in them. Haha, there was one with a meaty $1700 price tag on it, believe it or not. I say check out any city with badass beaches.
