Malibu is supposed to be really pretty! Go Cowboys!!!
Yes it is! Living in Dallas I don't have access to beaches so I'm really going to enjoy my trip to the beach in Malibu this summer. I'm also going to visit my sister in Florida this fall so I'll get to go to the beach then too!
I am sure in Florida with 825 miles of beaches you will be able to find somewhere amazing! It should be a great time. 
Yes it always is. She lives in Tampa and they have nice beaches. The best beaches are in southern California though. The way the mountains meet the oceans is so beautiful. I like to just sit there and relax in the sand.
I also live in Tampa, it is a perfect place to be Barefoot in Florida. I do love the Californian beaches as well, El Matador state park was so amazing.
El Matador State Park is a great place as well. When in Tampa I go to Honeymoon Island. It's probably my favorite beach in the bay area. 
Honeymoon Island is such a beautiful place and there is a dog beach real close to it!
Yes! We sometimes take my sister's dogs to that dog beach. It's always fun to play with them and then just relax.
I just looked up Zuma Beach and I can see why you love that place as well. It's so amazing how different our beaches are.
That's part of the beauty of it. The problem out west is the water is a bit cold. It's definitely more comfortable swimming in the Gulf of Mexico at Honeymoon Island. 
The water temp Clearwater is around 76 degrees! That is a very good point, do you swim while you are in California?
Yes, I will go in if the water temperature is 65 or above. It's also easier to swim at the Florida beaches because the waves aren't as high. The water is calmer. 
Do a lot of people surf in California?
Yes, they do. There's a lot of surfers up and down the coast. They just have to wear wet suits because the water is generally cold. 
I'd imagine on the coast that wet suit would keep you quite warm. Does the water ehat up to acceptable swimming temperatures in the summer?
It usually gets warmer September and October. It takes all summer to get it tolerable. Well, it was great talking to you about the beach. Goodbye.
