Michigan has so many beautiful beaches. Have you ever thought about trying to go to each one of them? That’s pretty impossible, since there are so many Michigan beaches. According to Tripprivacy.com, Michigan has 83 named beaches. “This number can be broken down to 30 in the Upper Peninsula and 53 in the Lower Peninsula,” they say, adding, “beaches on the Great Lakes make up the coast of Michigan.” So, what are some Michigan beach trips to take before the season ends?
First of all, it’s worth noting that there is really no official definition of what is a “beach” in Michigan. But, I consider a beach to be any sandy area around a lake. Duh. Another fun fact about Michigan’s lakes, according to Tripprivacy.com, is that the Great Lakes make up over 84% of Michigan’s freshwater coastline. “Beaches in Michigan can be classified by their location on the Great Lakes and their orientation to the shoreline,” they explain.
It’s difficult to pick a No. 1 favorite beach trip. But, I personally love going to Lake Michigan. My uncle lives off Lake Michigan, and it’s like heaven going there to visit during the summer.
