California Dreamin': Of Sun, Sand, and...The Pacific Ocean? Duh!
Ah, California. The land of endless sunshine, Hollywood dreams, and...wait for it...beaches! But those beaches wouldn't be quite the same without a vast expanse of blue meeting the sandy shores. So, which lucky ocean gets to cuddle up next to the Golden State?
