Family wants to go to California, to see the ocean.

What would be the best beach area?

Lake Tahoe. Rent a Cybertruck, block Kidwoo's driveway.

Ask the locals "Do you know who I am?"

Do they want to see the ocean or swim in the ocean? If it’s the latter, you’re talking southern california exclusively.

I have limited experience with SoCal but that would mean San Diego to me.

Raw sewage from Tijuana makes the swimming in San Diego suspect when I lived there.

I'd opt for big sur.

Hermosa Beach was cool when I lived there 15 ish years ago. Still had a surf town vibe. But it's probably Jackson hole expensive now.

Took the kiddos to Carlsbad a few years which had beaches and Legoland.

2 years ago we went to Port hueneme a sleepy military base town with moderately affordable Beach housing and my son took surfing lessons in Ventura...

Tons of nice beaches all the way to Santa Barbara

I'd skip Big Sur until the road is open.

And of course my favorite beaches in California are in Oregon which is to say the Lost Coast and further north...

I hear the Salton Sea is nice

Camping at Gaviota State Park for swimming, Monterey for looking. San Luis Obispo for a mix.
