I grew up in Seattle and moved to San Diego about a year ago. Prior to my decision to move, I had never visited a California beach - or any beach for that matter that wasn't in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle may be known for a lot of things - coffee, Bill Gates, evergreen trees and, of course, rain - but beaches are not one of the Emerald City's strong points. Not only is it often too wet and cold to truly enjoy a day at the beach but a Washington beach is composed primarily of pointy rocks and is often battered by brisk winds under grey skies.

 

While this is a typical look for a Washington beach throughout much of the year, it's not necessarily the norm in summer. My mom, who lives just north of Seattle, took this photo earlier this week.

 

There's no denying that Seattle can have gorgeous weather on occasion during the summer. However, there's still those pesky rocks in place of soft sand and the water still feels glacial.

 

On my first trip to scout out  San Diego last year, I visited a true beach on my first day. There was warm sunshine, soft sand and people relaxing outside. It was the first week of March and the scene I had just witnessed could never have occurred in Seattle, where people were still bundling up in winter coats and dreaming about the elusive sunshine. My mind was made up right away; San Diego's beaches had won me over and I started making plans to head down the West Coast!

 

Once I officially moved to San Diego last August, I made visiting the beach a regular occurrence. I frolicked in the waves in the middle of October,  took a walk on the beach on New Year's Day and spent several spring days exploring the piers. Needless to say, this Seattlite feels right at home with the warm sunshine and gentle ocean breeze of San Diego.
