Lake Michigan which was shown in the Chicago beach section, is larger than Slovakia just for reference :)

In the US, fishing is regulated at the state level. I live in Washington state, and like most states, we have a general fishing license - you pay the fee and have access to most public lakes and streams. You generally buy a freshwater or saltwater license, and there are different fees depending on if you’re a resident or non-resident. I paid $29.50 for my freshwater license last year, and with that, you can check the state game and fish agency for the online regulations for each registered lake or stream.

We go regularly to the outer banks of north carolina. There are very few hotels there. We rent a house when we go there.The beaches are not crowded and some of the best fishing on the east coast. My son caught a 100 pound tuna there.

Panama City's pier is a 1500 foot long fishing pier...

I love that you and your family sit there and talk. Literally your reaction to a video, not just let's all watch the video quietly. I love hearing your natural reactions! ❤️❤️

Garin, you are a natural! So much charisma! 😂

Get well soon, young lady...🙏

The pier provides access to fishing and a good walking place during high tide.

All along the eastern shore of the U.S . is this thing called the Golf Stream. It's what keeps even the more northern waters quite warm. The Golf Steam has an effect all the way to Europe and England..

Loving the family channel! I think you would really enjoy the beaches in Michigan. There are so many on the Great Lakes, they range from beautiful sand to rocky depending on where you are. It’s hard to believe you’re not looking at the ocean.

I am a native New Yorker, and I can tell you the water in the NYC area is not cold during the Summer-- June, July and August. The NYC temperatures are hot and humid. In the 20s C and 30s C are common.

WE have a hidden gem here in Beaufort, SC. It s a beach that is part of a state park. It's not well advertised so often times it seems almost like a private beach. It's called Hunting Island. Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach steel all the attention and all the commercial surroundings. hunting Island is quiet, secluded and almost never crowded or even busy.

I think you guys are doing so great. I'm from California, and grew up in the 70s skating on the beach.

Chicago should definitely be on your list!! Great architecture, museums, shopping, food, and a clean downtown. etc. Lake Michigan is huge - and looks like an ocean. Slovakia would fit inside it. I grew up there. Now I live in Massachusetts - another must-see if you're interested in US history that is. Eugene, Oregon; Seattle, WA; Bryce Canyon, Utah; Universal Studios in Florida; the Grand Canyon in AZ, San Diego, CA; Washington, D.C.; These are some recommendations. Hawaii is gorgeous but was so expensive I felt I couldn't truly enjoy it. Have fun. By the way, I think people everywhere have shorter tempers. This one girl was ready to murder me for pointing out I was next in line. Truly, watch out. Look for the kind helpers. Avoid confrontations.

My personal favorites are Long Beach on the coast of Washington state, the longest drivable beach in the world at 28 miles, and Hanalei Bay on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, wonderful places both.

Love your family!!! So happy you made this new channel!

Just love your videos. This one featured a beach I grew up at and still get to when I'm able. Mission Beach San Diego, CA. San Diego has around 31 beaches and each are so amazing. Hope you can see them some day. Visit the San Diego Zoo and Mission Bay for all kinds of water activities as well as bonfires by the water. Wishing you all the best and hope your holidays are wonderful. Take care.

I actually work in Clearwater Florida, I can promise you the water is crystal clear and the fishing in the surrounding area of St. Petersburg/Tampa is some of the best fishing I’ve experienced. From trophy tarpon, to grouper/snapper/red drum/sheepshead to filet and bring home to eat. But holy hell does it get busy youd definitely want to come in the off season. Also lots of golfing (which I love) and trails to walk where you can see armadillos, baby crocs, and all sorts of amazing birds. Definitely one of the cooler areas of Florida

Lived in Seagrove Beach Florida for years when I was a kid, and would recommend looking it up. It's way more developed and busy now, but would still rate it higher than Destin and Panama City Beach from the video (which are on either side of it) but is still less crowded than those. As a kid would wake up to the birds and sound of waves, hike through the woods, and swim with dolphins, sharks, and other sea life for most of the year. During the colder months would walk along deserted beaches. Amazing fishing. Even remember one very rare day when it snowed a little. Snow on white sand is surreal. Another one from the Pacific Northwest that wasn't in the video is Rialto Beach. It's otherworldly with the driftwood and black rocks and tide pools and rock formations.

I grew up on the east coast of Florida (Jacksonville) but I always preferred the west coast. We vacationed down below Tampa Bay in a very small town. We stayed at a camp site that had dug out a very cold natural spring, built a deck around it and added a slide. In the mornings we would catch crabs in the gulf near the camp site. In the heat of the day we would swim in the cold spring and in the evenings we would take the boat out to fish. Every night was a massive seafood dinner! Total freedom for the children without crowds. Perfect childhood.

The beaches on the Cali side have big waves and the water is almost always cold, lol. The beaches in the Gulf of Mexico, if you rent a beach house, they usually build them in long stretches so you may be all alone/very few folks on "your" beach. There's a lot of beach down here.

i have a lot of siblings, and my dad wanted economical vacations when we were growing up and he was still early in his career. Our family always went to myrtle beach, it holds a special place in my heart. great food, great golf, great fishing, good shopping. Its very tourist heavy, its not the nicest beaches or hotels, but like i said its pretty economical and a huge step up from jersey beach or Virginia beach in my opinion.

It made me so happy to see Mission Beach in this video. I was hoping it would be on the list. Mission Beach and Mission Bay is a core part of my life since I grew up in San Diego. So much to do there and so much fun. Summertime is completely packed.

I find it a bit hard to understand how the Outer Banks of North Carolina were skipped over in this video. Absolutely the best surf fishing I have ever experienced and all the golden sand! Wow 😁🐟🎣

I live about 25 miles from Clearwater Beach and I love fishing there. I would recommend you to take a Charter out for fishing. Fishing Licenses are available at some stores. Two types of fishing licenses, Salt water or Fresh licenses, it is used to help fisheries and to improve boating access.

As a Californian. Newport, huntington, laguna, and San Diego are so amazing for family vacations. I grew up going to Newport the most. Definitely better than the L.A beaches, especially Venice. I probably would skip Venice

I'm originally from Corpus Christi Tx born and raised there, it's just 20 minutes from Padre island. The beach is ok and you can drive on it. About a half hour up the highway is port Aransas it has another beach called mustang island. Anyhow I now live in central Texas near Austin it's about 3 and a half hours to Padre island from Austin so it's not that far from Austin to South Padre. Well better than 19 hours heh. Peace and love from Central Texas!

If you plan on fishing in Texas, as a foreigner, it mostly is just a matter of cost. Your son would be too young to need a license (17) currently. $16 for 1 day non resident all water pass. Need to fish more than 3 days to make getting actual license worth it, $68 all water license non resident.

California has over 800 miles of coastline with over 400 public beaches. There is something for everyone and it's incredible.

Long Beach WA State had 15 miles long beach. It has record for longest ot largest sand castle structure in America beating out Myrtle Beach N Carolina and a massive awesome kite festival & kite gall of fame/museum.... WASHINGTON STATE of the PNW

I used to live near Destin Florida, only one town west in Fort Walton beach

another cool part about Canon Beach is seeing the elk on the dunes

At Hubbards Marina in Madeira Beach you can charter deep sea fishing boats and and you can charter a fishing boat at Clearwater Beach. I live about an hour or so from Clearwater. I’m about two an half hours from Daytona Beach and there is a Buc~ees between Daytona and me.

I live in Michigan we have so many miles of great lakes beach that its not hard to find a more secluded area. No crowds for me either. Plus we have world class fishing. So much so that we call this place Fishigan.

To fish in the US you are a resident of the state you are in or you aren't. No hoops to jump through for foreigners. There are states that have certain areas with a very short season or even restricted numbers. But you mostly pay a higher price for a non -resident license. Not much difference in price in most cases.

I live in Cape Coral, Florida (right next to Ft Myers). The beaches here are nice and Sanibel Island is beautiful. I've been to all the beaches on this list in Florida. Panama City and Destin have the best sand in the world. It's very white so it doesn't get hot in the sun and it's like walking in baby powder, super soft. Insider tip, there is a state park in Panama City Beach that has a beach in the park. I spent a week there years ago. We would go to the beach there every day and usually be the only people out there. We would see dolphins come right up close to shore there. Check it out if you are near there.

I love that you've made a family channel. I love seeing your wife. I've always loved the channel love this even more

Long Island, NY has a pretty nice beach, Jones beach, it might not be warm but 17 miles of state park with no houses is quite nice.

Water temperatures on west coast beaches are generally cooler than those on the east coast, even in places like San Diego. The further north you go the colder they get. We visited Canon Beach, Oregon many times when I was young. Friends of ours lost a son there when he was diving off of Haystack Rock. The water was nt deep enough.

Aloha! Hawai'i would be happy to welcome you!! 🤙🤙 from Maui County😁

I'm from Florida, on the West Coast. Clearwater, Sanibel Island. Tampa Bay area. We would love to have you folks come and visit. In fact, if you ever announce that you're taking a trip to Florida, I would love to invite you on a fishing trip. I have a beautiful center console boat. Beautiful family!! I would be privileged to take you guys on a fishing day to remember. God Bless you guys!

Graham fam, Makena is correctly pronounced ma-KAY-nah, and Haleakala (ha-lay-AH-kah-la) is a volcano which was designated a national park a long time. Also, on a sad note, Maui is the island on which the city that burned up a few months ago (Lahaina; la-HIGH-nah) was located. Miami Beach is very near Biscayne Bay, which is home to Biscayne National Park, and directly across the highway is a sign for the other "on land" national park--Everglades. When we went back to Hawaii, he mentioned (Duke) Kahanamoku, which is pronounced kah-hah-nah-MOE-coo, but he got his vowels mixed up, and it ended up as kah-hoe-nah-MA-coo. Oops! I'm like you, Cat (Kat?), in that I've never taken a vacation where I just sat around and watched myself grow. I'd be bored in about 2 minutes. I'm definitely in the explorer group when I take a vacation. I make a big loop of several thousand miles in my car during around 2 weeks, seeing a whole list of things during that time, which is, no doubt, what made it possible for me to visit state #50 back in 1984, on the way home from Alaska (#49). Laurence of Lost in the Pond has been to Ohio St. beach, and he really likes it. This is on Lake Michigan. Hapuna Beach, HI, is 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up the coast from Kailua-kona (kye-LOU-ah CONE-ah) to Hawi (hah-VEE), which is the route for the Ironman Triathlon world championships.

I'm a Florida boy, so I've spent plenty of time beach side, but I have rarely gone during the day. We have some of the best beaches in the world, but it's far too hot for me when the sun is up and it's much nicer at night anyway. I'm more of a forest/swamp guy, so there's still plenty for me to do.

I grew up during my early childhood years to age eleven at Imperial Beach, California. My father served as USN for twenty-seven years retiring 1971 as Master Chief Petty Officer, Stationed at North Island NAS- San Diego and our family lived off base. I have many fond memories playing at the beach 🏖 . However, we sold our home at 310 Elder Avenue, Imperial Beach and moved not to far away to 1525 Standlake Avenue, Nestor near San Ysidro and I can remember riding my bicycle me and my brother down remote road for about three miles to the State Border Beach where Mexican Border is at, I could see the Tijuana Mexico Bullrink and sometimes the cheering crowds yelling "Ole' ". Our family moved to Oregon where parents grew up and I am glad we did so long ago because the beautiful Imperial Beach that I once knew has become polluted by filth let out into the Ocean from an Coastal area south of the Border of Mexico 🇲🇽 and sad to 😢 watch videos on KZfaq about it. Hopefully not all beaches in America have been polluted and I hope that someday Imperial Beach no longer polluted of waste from Mexico into Pacific Ocean. Oregon Beaches are still clean and very beautiful places to enjoy all along Coastline.😊

You guys to Panama City Beach: "That's packed." Me: *Cackles!*

For a while I lived in an area about 1 and half hours east of Panama city beach Florida in an area called the forgotten coast look for Franklin County Florida particularly Aligator Point and ST Teresa there you will find very white sand and quiet seclusion

We have a golf course in every town of note in Sonoma County. 2 in Petaluma. There are a couple outside of town in Sebastopol, Santa Rosa, Windsor Healdsburg, Rohnert Park. Golf courses are everywhere.

There's a Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Panama Beach. Siesta Key was voted #1 in florida a few times. Maybe in the US at one time. Living on the beach would be nice. But keep in mind about hurricanes. I live just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

I live just a minute from Mission Beach.

During late summer visit Ogunquit, Maine. Nice town, beach, fishing and more.

As a teenager me and my friends would float the Rogue River down through Hellgate Canyon to Indian Mary Park using tire inner tubes for fun, sometimes I get stuck in a whirlpool which required a bit of hand paddling to get moving but was fun time. Of course though nowadays there's the Rogue Jet Boat Excursions from Grants Pass that many tourist go on that isn't the same type of river float experience that we all enjoyed in the days gone by back in the 1970's my family had Thoroughbred Appaloosa Horse Ranch that was located where the Applegate River flowed into the Rogue River near Grants Pass Oregon. My parents gone now and I enjoy life farther north in Douglas County on the Umpqua River. Ya'll can wonder upon big city places in Florida etc but none as peacefully beautiful as we enjoy in Oregon.

Great job on the intro Garin! I don't leave near the beach so I'll have to check some of these out sometime.

My parents live in Siesta Key….The sand feels like youre walking on Flour

That pier in Panama City is designed for fishing unless it rains you won't get wet and the fishing is good

I was happily surprised to see the Chicago beaches included, but unfortunately it looks like they missed the fantastic beaches of western Michigan, such as in Holland, South Haven and Petoskey.

Oh, the kid is adorable.

Hey Graham Family, when the narrator talks about "Snowbirds" at 12:11 he is talking about people who live up north like New York and Minnesota and come down south where it is warm during the winter when there is snow up north. We have lot's of "Snowbirds" here in Arizona during the winter. They live in Arizona in the winter and Minnesota during the summer.

You will need to get a fishing license in order to fish in the US. Each state has its own rules and normally there are different licenses for fishing in freshwater and saltwater. Prices of each license depend on whether you are a resident of the state in which you wish to fish. Here in Florida, there are even lifetime fishing licenses for both salt and freshwater. Prices vary depending on the age of the person buying the license. You must legally reside in Florida for a lifetime fishing license. I am planning to buy the licenses for both fresh and saltwater for my child when he or she is born. Pay the fee now and never again for the rest of my child's life.

Ive been to 3 of these beaches... Clearwater Beach Panama City Beach Waikiki Beach Clearwater is my favorite beach, period.

I suggest that you do a search on Hubbards Marina.

Laguna is the beach we used to go to when I was a kid. I never realized that it was one of the best in the country.

In Texas there are several fishing licenses ,daily ,yearly ,in state ,out of state,fresh water ,salt water or combos.

It was very nice to see your family together and offering their reactions. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the USA are in Massachusetts on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. Although the water is only warm enough in July and August for swimming, visually they are beautiful year round.

Florida water temps in the gulf in August can be in the upper 80’s F

To get fishing/hunting licenses in Tennessee, you just have to pay the fee. If you’re under 13, it’s free. For a non resident the price is a bit more but not a lot. For example, a year long permit for all species of fish, valid in every location is $98. For 10 days it’s $30, or 3 days for $20. A resident pays ~ half that. You can buy it online and have it in just a few minutes total. Most states work the same way pretty much. It’s just the prices that change.

You guys would have a blast fishing here!

One of the places I live is in Saint Augustine. I'm like 510 minutes from the beach. Weird you don't really appreciate it. Beautiful beaches But I rarely go for some weird reason. I don't know. William s

Siesta Key is my families nearly annual vacation spot. Lovely place.

I liked LaJolla beach in LaJolla California, near San Diego.

I took my daughters to Clearwater Beach in Florida. We watched the sun go down at a nearby beach. It was beautiful. I've also been to San Diego, California at night. So I've seen the sun go down on both coasts. I live in Chicago, so we have our own beaches on Lake Michigan. I grew up along Lake Erie in Ohio. I worked at a boathouse as a teenager and watched many a sunset. I love the water!

Yes Chicago has some nice beaches, I grew up by the shores of lake Michigan.

Lake Michigan is bigger than Wales, England.

Fishing licensure in most states=$...not much, but there are no tests. Here in Florida, being over 65, mine is free & unrestricted. Non resident licenses are relatively cheap.

7:20 government bureaucracy 101, making something complicated is meant to discourage you from doing it.

Tiny waves on the east coast, ours are at least 5ft, but often 10ft or more. So we can surf if we want.

Lovely family & I'm with Kat about Hawaii. I've been all around Oahu & Maui. Great places.

I'm surprised that that video didnt have a few beaches that should be on it: Daytona Beach, where you can drive on the beach, Cape Cod Beaches, Old Orchard Beach in Maine and the Outer Banks in North Carolina. South Beach is fine, but Haulover is as good and another beach I love is Playlinda Beach, where you can watch rocket launches from Cape Kennedy.

You don't want to live by the ocean - it's expensive, both in land cost and insurance; it's also subject to more violent weather. That said, even though it's expensive, it's fun to visit in some places. Carefully review other people's comments. I once visited Miami beach and was virtually eaten alive by sand fleas. Along the same coast, you sometimes get dead animals (like jelly fish) that have active stingers called Portuguese Man-o-War. Despite what myth's people say, do NOT let them urinate on the sting because it makes them worse. The stings are acidic and so is ammonia in urine. Lifeguards have the proper chemicals.

😂😂 My dude!! (video says) "You can see lots of celebrities in Florida!" (John says) "Who cares 🙄?" Good call, man. If people are coming to the States to see celebrities, those people are wasting their time and money.

Your family would love ocean city New Jersey

Hey Boet! I live in Clearwater Fl and our beach is beautiful but there are way too many people. I think your channel popped up because My friend who is South African, well, he and I were talking about making Biltong which he makes all the time. Clearwater is beautiful but way too many people. That video of the Pier which is Pier 60 was empty. It hardly ever looks like that. I subscribed and like the videos. By the way. There are a lot of South Africans here in the Clearwater area. I know quite a few! Great people man.

3 minutes in... Your definition of "crowded beach" is is about as accurate as Mr. Magoo playing darts! That beach was sparsely populated. Looked perfect. As for pier, you can fish and observe fish, sea turtles, pelicans, manatees, dolphins, stingrays and even sharks. (You can see I used to live there...). Great seafood too!

The Oregon Coast beaches are amazing. They aren't warm beaches, but we have a lot of agates on our beaches and even some sand beaches, like in Florence, Oregon. The best part is that Oregon beaches are "The People's Coast" which means every inch of Oregon beaches is open to the public - the only exceptions are when there are endangered species nesting on a few specific areas, and even then, you can still go on the beach, they just don't allow dogs on those when the birds are nesting. The entire coast is great.

Padre and Galveston are sandy water, but cool and laid back, do what you do.

Ok so the fishing video is out how about you guys reacting to some of Garin's hockey highlights?

I'm a water-child, so is my mom, we don't do well inland for long. I gotta have salt air in my nose and salt water in my veins.

Most ppl don't think of places like Chicago for beaches. We've actually have about 20 beaches or so with the most popular ones on the North Side of Town . Chicago sits on the bed of Lake Michigan one of the Great Lakes ! The Great Lakes have been compared to like a sea or mini oceans . But for as cold and snowy as it gets in Chicago during the summer we have awesome weather and great great beaches to go too. And a lot of them right in the downtown area . Chicago was a and will be again a must visit destination in the States ! Top food City in the world awesome neighborhoods communities so many things to do from any sport any outdoor activities so many festivals during the summer Six Flags great bars and clubs Awesome food you can only get in Chicago . Great content keep up the good work

She’s a mom. I think it comes with the role. Haha

So, they other side of Lake Michigan also has some nice beaches without a massive city next to them.

Pensacola Beach here on Florida was voted Whitest Beaches on Earth twice by Travel Channel viewers. There are places where you can walk a mile and not see anyone-and there’s tons of dolphins 🐬!

Know my comment is many days late. The west coast beach water(Pacific Ocean) is cold, even in the summer. The Gulf of Mexico water is much warmer. Enjoy your videos. ❤

I am familiar with the beaches in Florida. Clearwater Beach is nicer than it looked, but very touristy. I like the warm water there. It's much warmer than on the Atlantic side. However the fishing there is terrible. The west coast of Florida is mostly sandy bottom for several miles out so you need to take a boat out about 20 miles to get to more productive waters. Unlike on the Atlantic coast where the water becomes deep just a few feet from the beach. If you ever visit Florida for the fishing go to the eastcoast. If you want water that is in the 90's go to the westcoast. And, if you want to swim in the cleanest water anywhere you should check out anyone of dozens of crystal clear streams that can be found in the center of the state. The water is filtered through miles of rocks before springing forth from the rocks. The water is rather cold though but that's a good thing in Florida. Gaters like warm fresh water.

The Naval Museum in Pensacola is not very far from Panama City.

You have such a cool family, and Garin is just incredible for his age! Come to the USA as soon as you can, you'll love it! (You'll also find plenty of people who would love to host your family) :D :)

Don't leave out about the many Lakes and believe it or not there are many ponds (our ponds are actually quite large in size) stocked with many varieties of fish such as Large Mouth Bass, Catfish, Bluegills, Trout to enjoy catching whether Catch and Release or for Personal Consumption. Many people do go out Deep Sea fishing but I myself enjoy fishing the waters of Oregon. Fishing also at Reservoir's inland. My family has been long time Gold and Mineral Prospectors and Extractors which valuable Gems also from many areas located Oregon. My brother is President of SWOMA (SouthWest Oregon Mining Association) Grants Pass. You don't need a license to be an Mineral/Gold Prospector. 😊

Before you move near a Beach reminder we have Tropicalcyclones that all times are very distruction

Nailed that intro!

that hotel is definitely not abandoned. its a billion dollar property...

Fishing licenses in the USA, you need one for each state and require different types for the water you are on, lakes, ocean, fresh water, sea water, and types fishing for. No test required.

I don't fish, but I was acharter member of 4:32 the Northern California V drive association. When I was 12 was training to race in the juniors, a class for ski racing. I decided that I didn't want to train every day. In Petaluma that would mean skiing in the Petaluma River. Its salt water and cold as hell. So skiing in December didn't. The water would have been below 50 degrees, did not appeal to me . Especially in cold weather. So I didn't race.
