fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Ah, they're never right 5 days out. Where were you planning on going to the beach?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

My town. Island Beach State Park.

Usually, yeah.

malibu malibuOG 2001

dude, there is nowhwere in nj where you can go to the beach for free. unless you catch the beaches on their free day such as wed, or thurs. usually. it's crazy. but the state parks you only pay like 8$ per car instead of $10 per person.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

there are a few public free beaches (usually only locals know or go) but they have no lifeguards

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

Is that unusual? You usually have to pay at least to park where we go in CA.

Yeah.. I guess I am used to a socialistic society up here.. 'we' own the land and its free. We do pay for parking in the 'city' beaches but that is about it. (Camping in parks are a different story... blood sucking leaches)

Just curious is it like an amusement park with turnstiles, hand stamping... it would just be so odd.

'your' use of 'quotes' is 'interesting'

oh, unless your talking about 'city' beaches... this is what I mean by a city beach...

But somehow I think your thinking about the 'we'. SO =P

this rule isn't countrywide. In Maryland the beaches are free and I'm pretty sure the same is true for Delaware.

magnum magnumOG 2001 katiedid

hawaii too all free beaches, you can even go on the beaches that are on hotel property since all beaches are public

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 magnum

jsut dont surf in w/the locals or you'll get a beat down! LOL

magnum magnumOG 2001 socalgal

thats why you have friends who marry locals and go with them :) It was funny me and my other friend who i visited, that lives there is white and we went in all the hotel pools no problems, but his friends who are hawaiian get kicked out before they even put their towels on the chairs.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 magnum

this is true. i fit in with the locals so i had no probs PLUS i have my friends who live in makaha, and my ex lived on the island too. so i had NO problems.. i would see the locals (haoles) get busted just getting in the water or wherever. LOL

magnum magnumOG 2001 socalgal

yup a whole lotta hate for us white folk by some locals, something about us taking their land or something, at least we didnt make them work it too /me runs haha, kiddin im just a second generation italian so my family lines didnt do it

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

we only have to pay to park if you dont find anything in the neighborhoods etc but the beach is free. i was shocked to learn you guys had to pay to go to the brach.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

ANOTHER reason to move to SoCal...we have awesome weather about 90% of the time....and we have Wahoo's ANNNNNNNNNND in n out burgers.....and palm trees....LOL

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

But as I've been being reminded of for the past week, we don't have nearly as good food out in CA. We have a couple of things like the ones you mentioned, but there is just so much more good food out here.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

the only godo food i find out there is italian....no mexican...and nothing compares to in n out....LOL

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

Yeah, there's not really much Mexican food out here. But the Italian does make up for it. And I grew up out here, so there's the nostalgia factor. I'm gonna be really bummed out when I have to go back.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

Haha. I just did a search on Mexican restaurants around my aunt and uncle's place here on yp.yahoo.com, and it came up with 5 places within a 10 mile radius. The same search around my place in Hayward comes up with 135. Granted its a little more densely populated in Hayward, but still...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Hey, we've got Surf Taco! http://www.surftaco.com/ This joint has really good shore grub. There's a little shabby place like 3 minutes away from me called El Familiar. Amazing Colombian/Mexican food. It seems Mexican food in NY is kinda lacking. Jersey's got it on lock.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

NICE! surf taco is kinda like our wahoos.

reaf reafOG 2002

I don't like surf taco. Last few times i have been there the food hasn't been good.It's like cheap food or something. Have you been to Fins in Belmar? Same Idea but i think the food is so much better.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Fins is awesome! I agree. I wish Fins was closer tho. I still LOVE Surf Taco.

reaf reafOG 2002

We ride our bike to fins, I love it! haha. MAN now talking about mexican I REALLY want it except i have no vehicle and i can't take my bike that far right now i have to much to do.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

do they have fish tacos? I want wahoo's fish tacos

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

their specialty is the surf taco. a delicious fish taco.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002
