Ok that makes sense about wanting to go on longer beach rides and yes beach cruisers do look dumb. But so does deep v's, aeropokes and neon color coordinated bikes. But in the end, they are all just tools to move you. I was thinking you were looking for something to get around town on, go to the beach, etc. My parents have a beach house in OC, MD and when I lived there, I would need to get a new (used) bike pretty much every other summer from the rental sell-off. Salt air pretty much rapes bikes. Whatever you wind up with, don't drop a lot of cash on it.
