Is there any better destination than a beach? A place to relax in the sun with a cool drink and some snacks as water laps at the shore is the perfect cure for a stagnant suburban summer.

Some prefer a tropical location with cool waves and soft sand, while others may prefer a calm lake with trees providing natural shade. Whatever your preference, there are several options in our region, including scenic spots just an hour or two away.

​We want to know which beach is best. Do you like to barbecue on the shore of Lake Tulloch or perhaps pack up the crew to enjoy rides and a swim at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk? Fill out our poll and let us know. Answers may be used for a future story.
