One of the controlling works (lock & dam) primary mission is poo/aid in flushing and pollution control. It is why they were built... They keep bacteria levels on Southern Lake Michigan's beaches low by flushing nasties south. Those beaches & the environment are the number one benefactor of the flushing. When we close or get "reverse" flow towards the Lake (Mutha Nature's intended route that Fergy & Gugny just love to tout ad nauseam)... They almost always close the beaches (after testing of course) on Southern Lake Michigan due to public health concerns. Ecoli is the big one I believe. That's poopy in layman's term I believe. I am part buzzkill and yet with the other hand making the situation BETTER for area beaches. Take the good with the bad. At least 4 out of 10 beaches in the US aren't poo infested. I am doing my part, contrary to what BS @Gugny & @BringBackFergy say. Those two would want to live in a poo infested world. Just pick beaches with good flow. And stay away from the storm sewer outfalls. The coasts are so overcrowded nowadays... People's doodoo has to go somewhere when storms make it back up. FWIW, I am sure the EPA does allow for emergency releases of untreated sewage during storm events. Where else is it gonna go? Back up the toilet? ESSAYONS!

If the water at the beach isn’t warm, I’m not turning blue trying to enjoy it! California and New England are beaches to LOOK AT the water, as far as I’m concerned. I prefer a pool over the beach as far as swimming goes. The Sarasota beach is just amazing though. White powder sand that doesn’t get hot, calm waters that allow you to wade out chest deep where you can look down and see your feet, fabulous sunsets.....I do miss that! My wife was in Newport Beach for work recently and came back saying she could live there. That’s unlike her to even notice so it must be a nice area. I’m sure it’s crazy expensive! yeah Newport Beach I believe was the next beach right next to HB. I could tell you this, HB was awesome. It must be amazing to live there if your in your 20s & single. Or even if you are older & have money. Bars all over the place, great vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I’ve been walking on an ocean beach almost every day for the past week+. That’s because I’m on vacation. Otherwise, I visit a lake (usually in the Adirondacks) a few times each summer on weekends, and the ocean about every other summer while on vacation.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 There are about 6 or 7 smaller lakes and one reservoir within a 30 minute drive of my house. Most of the beaches are part of state parks. You can borrow free passes to all of them at the public library. We go to the beach a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The wife and I just spent a fantastic few days exploring some new beaches along the West Coast of the South Island. Wow. We even spotted a few penguins coming back in the evening from feeding all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I probably go about 5-6 times a year. My family is in South Florida at Easter and we take another trip to the Caribbean in Feb/March. I live about 3 hours from Gulf Shores and 4 hours from Destin. We normally take a guy’s trip to Mullet Toss and then I try to go for 3 -4 weekends during the summer. It seems to be Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. That is a bit of a perfect year but that is what I shoot for. Edited July 30, 2019 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I live in SE FL now and walk at the beach 3-5 times a week. Just got back from there about an hour ago. I have a little 3 mile route I do; it's good exercise as it is not always easy to walk in wet sand. The eye candy is ridiculous, too. I'm happy to report that the thong bikini has become trendy and fashionable down here in the last couple of years. Prior to that, it was not.

And as medical science develops, it will become harder and harder to find things that kill people. Curing cancer alone will probably have a big impact on life expectancy and population rates, etc. You wonder if the end of warfare and ways mother nature can kill humans will result in huge population problems.
