You mean this one............
Or this one..........
I gotta admit, both rank pretty high in my prejudice book...........
You can thank picture #1 for picture #2.
September through April, you won't catch beaches looking like God threw up on them.
Unless you physically took the 2nd picture yourself, you can find any beach in the continental US on Google Images with trash.
Like a lot of prejudices, promoted by lazy bullsh!tters picture #2 is the santa monica pier in California...Originally Posted by Bodezafa

Jersey is a **** hole . The water is disgusting not to mention needles dumped in the ocean now and than. The amount of treated sewage dumped in the ocean on a daily basis is a crime -treated is what they claim.
if you saw the water in nj yesterday, youd forget you were on the east coast. it was amazing, but its true, nj's gov doesnt give a **** about our ocean. Good thing I have dual citezen ship! I can leave whenever!
I here all this talk about Needles I have never seen one ever. I have to say after a heavy rain more so in the summer you dont wanna be the water for at least a cpl days after the rain storm
Here's an interesting article. Our water quality is right with North Carolinas and we don't have sex with family members.

Well, I don't think that there has been any issues with needles for over 2 decades, but I do remember as a kid in OC MD in the late 80s when I was very young, I remember my parents telling me for 2 summers that I had to wear "water shoes" in the water, because there were syringes washing up all over the Jersey Shore, and since they supposedly came from a landfill in NYC, we all assumed that the waste was making its way down across the DE bay....
So, after remembering this, I googled it. Here is a perfect explaination of why people have this notion...
http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-6557148.html
It really happened. And in another article, it pointed out that when they tested some of the needles and waste, it had traces of HIV and Hep in them...
So, this was an old issue, that was not Jersey's fault... It is the fault of their big brother up on the big island....
So, Jersey gets a bad rap to this day because of this....
Its like if in 2030, people are afraid to swim in the Gulf because of the Oil Spill... Its just people that are mis-informed...
And as for the rain thing... It may only rain 5 times a year out here, but when it does, the ocean turns into a bowl of feces... its nasty... Takes 48 hours to clear up... And I have had a severe problem surfing in the muck and I wound up in the ER... So rain makes everything turn to sh**... Funny though, cause I thought back east that the rain didn't have a negative impact on the ocean water... Learn something new every day.
P.S. Props to the state of Maryland for almost taking the #1 spot... If they could only figure out how to save the inner workings of the Chesapeake... I bet if you test the water in the inner harbor in bmore, they would have a 100% failure rate with every sample... This data is all based on ocean water, so that rocks for surfers... Too bad for the crabs in baltimore county though.
