Our 7 Top Midwest City Beaches
We spent hours walking, kayaking, swimming and, of course, sampling food from snack shacks. These seven beaches offer the best mix of sandy fun and cosmopolitan flair.
Racine, Wisconsin: North Beach
If we didn't know better, we'd think California. Amazingly clean, the 1.2 miles of sandy Lake Michigan coast welcome the Extreme Volleyball Professional tour each summer. A wetland, Kid's Cove playground and a zoo border the 50-acre expanse; to the south, boats bob in Racine Yacht Club's marina. To rent a kayak or personal watercraft, head to Pier 29 Water Sport Rentals at the southern end of Michigan Boulevard. For just $15 an hour, you can paddle around the harbor and drink in the views of this perfectly groomed destination. (262) 884-6400; realracine.com
