This last Labor Day weekend our family decided to head up to St. Joseph, Michigan for Summer's last gasp. Lake Michigan can't really be considered tropical by any stretch of the imagination but the beaches in St. Joseph are really nice as Great Lakes beaches go. Lake Michigan almost warms up by the end of summer and the water feels sort of warm once you become numb.
One of the nicest beaches up there is called Silver Beach (uh, at least I think that's what it's called). It's clean and there is plenty of room for everyone, though it's crowded enough that it might be hard to plunk yourself down by the water. One of the downsides of Silver Beach is the large number of young adults who are trying to hook up with other equally beautiful people and it can get a little irritating for the rest of us to sit in the middle of this meat market.
Down the road from Silver Beach is the Lions Beach. This beach is owned and maintained by the Lions Club. While not as nice as Silver Beach there are a lot fewer people so it's easy to find yourself a spot by the water. They have a nice park for the kids, see the video above for an example, and the bathroom facilities are pretty good. Are you like me that you have to pee a lot more when you're near water? What's up with that?
