Neither...
My favs are Bahia Beach, Chile (South Pacific),
und Barcelona, Spain (Western Mediterranean),
but I've visited Wilhelms-haven, (North Sea)
during the summer months as well.
While I think New Jersey and Florida are two of the worst states in the union, I'm firmly an East Coast guy. New York style pizza is infinitely preferable to California style, and I love the Mad River area in Vermont and I like snow. I like that the East Coast feels a lot more compressed.
If we are talking about the United States, I prefer the East Coast. Yes, the West Coast is great to visit, and I've lived there for a while. But I've also lived in the East, in the Midwest, and the South. Maybe it's because I was born and raised on the East Coast, but I am infinitely more comfortable running up and down the Eastern Seaboard than driving on the Pac Highway. Think about it, the life in NYC, the seafood in Baltimore, hiking the Appilachian Trail, swimming in the Atlantic off the Carolinas and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Georgia Peaches (and I am not talking the fruit), and the beaches and clubs of Florida. I just love it all!
Now, if you are talking any other country, I can't help you. Australia in on my bucket list, also Spain and Japan. If I do go there, I'll report back . . . maybe . . . if I come back :-)
Meddle Not In The Affairs of Dragons, for we are Crunchy and Good with Ketchup!
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
No coast. I like hills and forests.
Don't believe everything that you read.
I love where we live on the East coast but every time I visit the Pacific Northwest I could imagine how much I would love living there.
It’s November and 70’s at night 80 during the day... no snow give me florida anytime

Just kidding dear Kiteares!
Have never been to the west coast of the USA, yet. Parts of California may be nice to see, but the Northwest sounds more my style.
I have been to Ocean City, MD and dang it is crowded. A few places I still want to visit on the east coast.
As for Florida I love the coast of the panhandle. The rest can fall into the ocean and I would not miss it.
So I really cannot make much of an informed decision here. As for Michigan, there are beautiful beaches on the west coast and if you get away from the really populated areas, there are some nice areas on the east.
I've lived in various parts of the US, including outside NYC. 10 years ago I moved to Seattle, and now I'm never leaving. The west coast people and overall vibe of the pacific NW are just so much nicer (IMO) -- for me, the east coast had a really negative energy to it.
This would be incredibly difficult for me as I love NYC and used to live very close to the Outer Banks in NC. That said, I live on the West Coast now, and probably my favorite place on Earth is that part of California that runs north from Pebble Beach to the Napa Valley.
I live in North Carolina and I’m only an hour from the beach. It’s strikingly beautiful all along the coastline. I’ve been to San Diego and it was beautiful too. Considering both coasts I’ll stick with The Tarheel State and the East coast
20+ years in NC......love the beaches!
Vancouver and San Francisco, West Coast.
I like all of the west coast, only some of the east.
Raised in the southeast, lived up and down the East Coast while in the Navy. Was stationed on the West Coast and fell in love with the southwest deserts. So, if I had a choice today, I'd go back to the West Coast.
Prague but for now I'll continue to be an L.A. babe.
NYC to visit.
EAST COAST RULES!
I truly love New York City. Fond of California, and I can't wait to take a train up the Western California coast with my betrothed, so perhaps my preferences will change. But my formative young adult years were spent in NYC, so I suspect I am (happily) stuck with them.
This a question designed to be divisive. The E N T I R E country has something to offer. I've been to 49 of the 50 states (Alaska still beckons) and have found each and every state to have something to offer and something to despise. The four coasts (Atlantic, Pacific, Great Lakes, Gulf) are the same; different yet with something to offer. While my dad was in the Air Force, we lived on both coasts and both are great places with opportunities to sate every appetite. Maybe if everyone spent more time traveling and meeting people outside of their own cliche, the entire country might be better off.
