I wonder if it’s West Australians who call American beaches bad. West Australia has the most beautiful white sand beaches, everywhere else looks dirty to them
Tbf most American beaches don’t allow cars. But there are more exceptions to that than you would think and there is a large demographic that absolutely loves them.
Terrible beaches in most of the country, if your standard is based on what you find in a travel brochure.
People are always shocked to find out that most WA and OR beaches are designated highways - and then they get there and see them it makes plenty of sense. Km on km of beach with fuck all there, 500m of dune covered in razor grass between you and the houses, occasional 1-inch fjords, the nice soft bits near the dunes sometimes have pits of quicksand, and the whole thing is you-have-to-shout windy and fucking FREEZING. And then theres how shit the beach itself is, which once you get past the dune areas (not highway, precious and beautiful ecology) is just several hundred meters of hard-packed sand or outright gravel and then blump. Ocean.
The nice bits of beach are all protected from vehicle traffic, the parts where you get good surfing waves or scenic vistas or are near a population center, but the vast majority of the coast is only ever visited to dig up clams or blow up dead whales.
So that’s why us Australians call USA beaches dog shit. Why the fuck does any authority of any level of government allow cars on beaches?
There are plenty of beaches in Australia that allow vehicles.

But how else will we get cops there?
In Australia, they park and walk
Cops can’t walk, don’t be absurd.
Yeah, they need Segways with big beach tires
That would still involve being outside, breathing the same air as us
