I would say California followed by Hawaii. Hawaii they are actually very pretty, but no protected at all so there's too much sun and wind exposure. But it's really kind of a toss up depending on what you like.

Hawaii also has better snorkeling. But I like the variety of CA, the more protected shores, the beauty of the cliffs and trees as backdrop. More topography, better climate. FL is nice but too muggy, too flat.

The California coast is beautiful but the water is c-c-c-c-c-o-o-o-o-ld

@slatyb true dat, but honestly I kind of like it cold sometimes. It's definitely a treat to go scuba or snorkel with next to nothing on, but I also like to go jump in my local waters for a little polar bear club action (though it's warm compared to actual polar bear club crazies in northern coasts or Canada)

Florida or US Virgin Islands if that counts
