Sometimes, you just need a beach day.

There’s nothing more refreshing than a day full of nothing but uninterrupted relaxation, the feeling of sun on your skin and the soothing sound of waves crashing ashore. Fortunately, you can have this right here in Ohio. Contrary to what you might think, you don’t necessarily need an ocean. The fresh waters of Lake Erie serve as our own special sort of ocean here—without all the salt, jellyfish and occasional fear of sharks for those of us who have seen Jaws one too many times.
