Yeah, gorgeous sugar sand beaches, with towering dunes the height of smallish skyscrapers.
But they're on the other side of the state.
Huron has some wonderful beaches, too. One of my favorite state parks is Port Crescent, up at the tip of the Thumb, where, if you are lucky enough, you can camp right on the beach.
Sperior also has some great beaches, but the water is too cold to stay in very long. You would get hypothermia.
In this part of the state, we have beaches on small inland lakes. But I usually take the kids to the county waterpark, which is about three miles from our house. They have a big wave pool and a lazy river and a bunch of big slides there. It's not open for the season yet, though.

I guess they haven't tried to heat those pools yet.

We need to do a poll to find out how many of us hate freckles, and how many of us think they're sexy.

Days at the beach are much fun indeed!
And glad you escaped sunburn-sunblock is a godsend! I am sure I would have burnt badly on my most recent trip to a few beaches if I hadn't had some to hand.

Which side of Florida you on?
The Gulf side has white-sand beaches and the water temp is warm.
The Atlantic side is more of a brown sugar-sand color and water stays cooler longer.
Around the Keys, the water is usually clear and has a greenish hue.
Either way around, FL is a diver's/swimmer's paradise.
Y'all come down and we'll show you a good time!
And sunblock IS a good idea, even on cloudy days.

I burn and peel, baby! Red, white, red, white. One time I tried a tanning booth and was red in stripes where the lightbulb ran parallel with my body and white where there was absence of lightbulb. Yes, a striped candycane. My friends still bring that up at the most inopportune moments.You sound like me at the beach: a "tan" is when you're dark pink but it doesn't hurt when you touch it.

Having had several sunburns (a few of them blistering) I would say I'm and expert on the subject, and sunburn in a word, sucks.
I often get teased because I am so fishbelly white (of course, I prefer the term alabaster . If I've heard, "Wow, you need to get some color" or "Jeez, you need to really get a base tan" once, I've heard them a thousand times. But I've had so many burns that I am afraid of the sun. My days of trying to force a tan are over, and I shall glow in the dark, proudly, for the rest of my days.

I go to the beach at night and use an SPF of 300, and the redness usually goes away within 3 days.
