Aaron, i guess it depends on what one appreciates at the moment. Right now, i cant stand Zuma, matter of fact I havent been there in 2-3 yrs. Theres just too many people, and 99% of them are inconsiderate SOB's, or dont speak English. (Is that too much to ask coming to America?) You'll actually have all your stuff out (kids Boogy boards, wetsuits, ice chest, beach chairs) and they wil literally plop there items 5ft in front of you. Im dead serious! Right in front of you, and ruin the whole panorama.
Chalk up another reason I hate summer.
Right now Im rather content with just the sites, and emptiness. Dolphins, and birds, an occasional low flying copter or experimental plane. One day I'll work myself back into shape and get back into surfing full time, cuz I cetainly miss it, and it brings great opportuinity for quality time with the kids out in the water.
