General description: a beach along a state park in northeastern Illinois on Lake Michigan
Sand quality: fine, most clean sand, some smooth rocks, patchy areas of tall dune grass
Beach size: roughly 50-100 yards deep
Water quality (temperature, vegetation, salt vs fresh): very cold except for during extended warm summer months when the water warms somewhat. Waves are usually calm on normal days, picking up with increased winds.
People crowds type: sparse, occasional people walking along state park shore
Ecological details:
Wildlife presence (insects, birds, marine life): seagulls, dragon flies, and significant biting fly presence during hotter temperature days (85°F+)
Climate: temperate, hot summers and cold winters
Location (latitude/longitude):
General tips: the biting flies are unbearable when present during hot days and make it so that you can't even walk on the sand without being swarmed and bitten. Be prepared for cool water.
