Name one then. What is one beach you have been to with a better sand/water combination than Destin?

Bondi Beach

I thought we were talking sand and water conditions now? I can’t keep up with all the goalpost moving

Here’s a pic I took at Seaside beach, 10:30am in early/mid August



Crazy packed with people

Compare the sand and water

Sand is almost exactly the same, in fact, I would say Bondi is even a little less pebbly than Florida. And I’ve actually been to both. I would say no advantage either way.

If you’d actually been, you’d know that Bondi is one of several beaches on the Bondi to Coogee trail so there are multiple beaches right in that area. Not sure how that’s even relevant though. Water quality im giving to Bondi easily. Cooler and WAY more clear

Destin is clearly more white. Come on man




The sugar sand at Destin is unmatched

You used a filtered photo

I’ve stepped foot on both. Destin may be a bit more white but quality is about the same. As I said, Bondi has softer sand with less pebbles. Both are excellent sand quality. Water is better at Bondi, surroundings are better an Bondi, weather is better at Bondi, people are better at Bondi.

Which beaches did you see muddy water? Maybe I’ve been lucky but I’ve yet to see any on Maui and I’ve visited several times and I’ve been to a lot of beaches.

Wailea Beach, ulua beach, polo, poolenalena were...palauea beach was a little and the bottom was

pretty much most of the beaches in maalaea bay were from the east end all the way west until you get to actual maalaea beach.

now when you get to the more western side of the southern part of island around kaanapali it wasnt. the resorts in Napili and kapalua bay beaches had really pretty water too after that though it gets really rocky all the way along the western side of island pretty much after oneloa.



the beaches around mamas fish house were cool and it was awesome seeing the turtles bu the beaches were really really small and rocky AF. Baldwin down the street had pretty good water but it was rough AF whole time we were there.

there is literally zero pebbles in the sand in destin and along 30a.

wtf are you talking about. its like sugar.

Probably not the best description. As I’ve said, now for the at least third time, the sand as far as quality is the same.

Bondi is not yellow like that in person. I’ve actually fricking been there. You’d be losing your mind if the tables were turned here.

Bondi is better, that’s ok. Destin is fine, it’s mostly ruined by the people, both quantity and quality. Water can be hit or miss too

---

cool can understand that

Bondi looks beautiful...can you swim? as in is the water too rough or too cold or too much wildlife?

im asking for real btw

Yes, one side of the beach is typically extremely calm. I did open water swimming there. The other side is pretty rough but is great surfing. Adjacent on one side is tide pools that are rock bottom and the water is crystal clear and the other side is the iceberg pool that is a naturally fed salt water Olympic lap pool
