Its hard for me to put into words why I like the beach so much. Everything about it is renewing for me, almost like therapy…Beach Therapy.” —Amy Dykens
I took this photo from our porch at LeBear resort in Glen Arbor, overlooking Lake Michigan, earlier this week. I’ve been lucky enough to visit many gorgeous beaches around the country, but this one remains my all-time favorite.
With over public 100,000 votes in 2011, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore was named the “Most Beautiful Place in America” on ABC’s Good Morning America. Those of us who’ve been visiting the area since we were kids weren’t surprised at the news … but some of us were a wee bit sorry that our best-kept secret is finally out.
Nothing says “summer” like a day or two at the beach. I’m wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend — and a beautiful summer launch! — CL
What a beautiful spot to be at. It brings back memories of long ago vacation at Lake Avalon near Alpena, Mi.
Hi Cindy– GORGEOUS! What a beautiful place. I grew up on Lake Erie and love going back to visit. Your picture reminded me of “home”.
Thanks,

What a beautiful photo! How blessed you are to have seen such beauty – thanks for sharing!
It is near the ocean and beach that I truly feel myself 🙂
Too bad I live in landlocked Utah!
Bridgette, 🙂
Honestly; you never cease to amaze me with your pictures and articles. I was able to daydream to Lake St. Clair; generations of my family have (had) cottages out on an island. I’m thankful my son will be able to continue this ‘pilgrimage’. Water has a very calming effect . . .
Thank you, Jill — nice of you to say! And you’re lucky to have a family with cottages on an island … sounds dreamy!
