Any 2009 regionals near the Ocean?

Boston's Southie's Carson Beach they say is nice, but it's no Tel Aviv , at least from comparing photos. I've only driven by it to/from a job, and either direction I was in no mood to stop. Sorry, Long Island's Jones Beach spoiled me, though I have no desire to go back. And having grown up an island, it would feel odd being able to drive in any direction and not hit water.

Reader's Digest story badly re-told: A group of sailor recruits arrived at their new station in Florida, and for their last night of freedom another sailor wanted to know where they wanted to go celebrate. They requested the beach, as they were all from the midwest and had never even seen the ocean!
