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.
Milwaukee: Bradford Beach
A relaxed urban feel floats over this nearly 30-acre expanse on Lake Michigan just north of downtown. Parking is easy off Lincoln Memorial Drive, and there's room, even on busy days, to build a sand castle, spread towels and toss a football. The two-story Bradford Beach House sells concessions, but for the best food, stop at Northpoint food stand, about a 10-minute walk south on the bike path. You won't regret the wait for fresh-made burgers, Wisconsin white cheddar cheese curds and soft-serve custard flavored with Madagascar vanilla beans. (414) 257-7275; countyparks.com
