The Hoosier State’s immediate proximity to beautiful Lake Michigan results in some absolutely incredible beaches, and so do our countless awesome lakes and ponds scattered about the state. Some of our favorite ultra-pristine beaches in Indiana include such gems as Indiana Dunes National Park, where you can sink your toes in the sand and laze the day away beside the water. Beverley Shores is an amazing beach town, with beautiful, sparkling water and so much to do that you’ll have to spend at least a whole weekend there. We’re also major fans of the epic (and appropriately named) Clear Lake, Indiana, where the water is astonishingly beautiful, cool, and refreshing all year.
