When it comes to beaches, California is hard to top. Between the long stretches of golden sand in Southern California to the rugged, mostly unexplored seafront up north, there are hundreds of beaches (more than 420 of them!) where you can enjoy the dramatic landscapes of Californias coast. And lets not forget the shores of Californias reservoirs and lakes, where you can spend the day swimming, sunbathing, boating, or fishing while being surrounded by mountainous peaks and dense wooded forests.
