One of the most mesmerizing features of Northern Ohio is its dreamy coastline. While Lake Erie has historically maintained a bad rap, its conditions have improved in recent years as communities and advocates rally to end dumping and clean up our lovely lake. Groups like the Lake Erie Foundation advocate for its cleanliness, and now we’ve reached a point where community parks like Huntington Beach are being celebrated for their state of being (Huntington, if you haven’t heard, has been Blue Wave Certified by the Clean Beaches Council). If you’re ready to take advantage of Lake Erie’s beauty and higher health standard, look no further than this dreamy coastal community near Cleveland:
