Myrtle Beach is gross from about 21st Avenue North until about 17th Avenue South. The rest of it is actually not bad. I say that as someone born and raised in Conway. It certainly isn't anywhere near the worst beach.

I’ve been to that one before and it wasn’t bad at all, considering I went right after the dentist started drilling before I was numb!

Virginia Beach. We lived on the beach, and I barely remember the sun out, unless it was cold as shite. It was a dumpy apartment block, filled with roaches, and all I smelt was shite rotting on the beach, combined with the fish market nearby. It's why I don't eat seafood to this day, and despise the sand, the beach, and seaweed.
My friend, just how long were you there? A rainy weekend?
Beach front or Chicks?
Either way, I had so much fun, there I got fired. Stayed for an extra month.

Been to a LOT of beaches in America and quite a few in other countries.
Worst by far was Coney Island. Just took a walk on it for awhile after riding the amusement park rides. Yucky brownish-gray sand absolutely COVERED with trash of all types, including used diapers. People there just threw their garbage on the ground. Water wasn't much to speak of either, a grayish color.
Coney Island makes Grand Isle look like Destin or somewhere in the Caribbean.
Of the rest mentioned often, Holly Beach is the worst-- brown/gray sand and water like chocolate milk. Galveston and Grand Isle are a little better, mainly in terms of water color and clarity.
Someone mentioned Captiva/Sanibel which I just visited between Christmas and New Year's and both are indeed overrated with their gray-colored pulverized shell beaches AND the shell "powder" makes the water cloudy.
The man-made beach itself on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is better than Sanibel/Captiva- a nice golden white sand. The water is the problem, very shallow and often muddy or with an olive green color. Contrary to popular belief, the color/ muddiness has nothing to do with the Mississippi River, but everything to do with the Pearl River, Pascagoula River, Mobile River and other smaller rivers like the Jourdan, Wolf, Tchoutacabouffa and Biloxi rivers.
And as another poster mentioned, if you go out to the barrier islands in Mississippi, the water is a LOT cleaner-- on a good day it can be almost Destin-like.

Growing up on The Texas Gulf Coast I feel comfortable speaking on this. Galveston beaches suck but they are better than they were 30 years ago. Every summer we'd spend a few weeks at a condo on North Padre, that was awful. Rubber gloves, Mexican trash (people and actual trash) terrible. I think Mexico throws all their crap in the Gulf. What Texas lacks in beaches I think we make up for in fishing.
About 15 years ago I went to a family reunion in Jersey, we went to what they called a beach on a "lake" between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. The "lake" was maybe 2 or 3 acres and the beach was a flat plot of sugar sand, it looked like a bunker on a super cheap muni but the Yankees ate it up.

You sure you weren't in Norfolk near Ocean View?
Lol, that's exactly where I was. I was maybe seven, but "Ocean View" pulled the right memory string. To me, everything in Norfolk with sand is Virginia Beach. I can't imagine it's much better a few miles in either direction though.

For me, it was Port Aransas. It was shortly after a freeze and fish kill, so the beach was loaded with fish carcasses.

I grew up along Lake Michigan in the 80s. It gets so cold that natural piers of ice build out from the shore. So in summer a 60° water temp is as good as it gets. A lot of us would beg our parents to go to the "warm waters" which felt like a good tub in comparison. What we didn't know was that it was warm because the water being pumped into the lake was from the sewage treatment plant. So that was the nastiest "beach" I've ever visited.
If you're talking about the Gulf, Daytona in April is a wasteland of cans, broken glass, and the occasional needle. I'm sure VD was abundant in the coastline hotel pools too.

Rutherford beach
Absolutely terrible. Don't go there.
Definitely don't drive out there, build a bonfire on the beach, watch people night fish, and fall asleep listening to the waves.
Awful. Dreadful.
In all seriousness, on a super cold night, Rutherford is one of the most peaceful places on earth.

Grand isle and it ain’t even close esp if you add in the trash that frequents there.
