Transcript
Which beach do you avoid at all costs? Black's Beach because tier are naked people there, and I don't like that. I would start at La Jolla Shores. That's like Transplant Nation. Like, if you're there, you're from out of town. One I probably don't go to as much is probably Pacific Beach, like, right on the pier best because it's super crowded and lots of, like, touristy kind of stuff. Mission, I would say, is one of the better beaches, but I'll just avoid because I'm not trying to do the crowds. Oh, I don't wanna get cursed out of San Diego, but I'm sorry, Ocean Beach. I just can't go down there anymore. I avoid La Jolla Shores like the plague over summer. That's where everybody is.
