Do you prefer beaches on the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico?

Question

Gulf waters tend to be warmer.

Answer 1

Love the soft white sand in the gulf.

Answer 2

The Atlantic is quite rough. Nothing keeping the waves from crashing in. The Gulf is nice, but it depends where you land. Some of the Gulf coast is more mud beaches than sandy beaches. Right around the LA and TX border past Galveston, the beaches aren't spectacular.

Answer 3

I've been on Gulf beaches from Tampa, Florida to So. Padre Island, TX. and also on the Atlantic and Pacific beaches. The best beaches by far are the Gulf Beaches no matter which gulf state you are in (Florida Gulf beaches are exquisite).

Answer 4

Forgive me, but ya just gotta have both. That's what different vacations were made for. If you want some wave sound and you're into the rolling and crashing it's the Atlantic. When you feel mellow and like floating around a bit with the dolphin and doing a bit of snorkeling, then the Gulf is the place to go. I loved your question but it's just a bit like asking if you prefer sun or stars. There's a time for each.

Gulf water is alot calmer as well. I prefer the Gulf for swimming and sailing, but for surfing, the Atlantic rocks.
