Lake Michigan IS the beach!!! We call it “third coast” in Michigan. It’s beautiful and you’d be surprised how big the waves can get in high winds.
It's much warmer than I expected! I assumed the water would be freezing (I had been to the beach at Long Island and couldn't even stick my feet in the water it was so cold!). But the temperature was perfect, even on an overcast 79 degree day.
@Hihi not surprised given the very hot summer we have had, but it also can change very quickly. A few weeks ago I saw a story about the Lake Michigan water temp dropping like 20 degrees in a day!
@A2Jennifer Wow! I guess we lucked out with the temps, then!
@Hihi yep - but August is always warmer than June.
