When people think of South Dakota, the last thing that comes to mind is most likely tropical beaches, so tourists and recent transplants are always pleasantly surprised to find that we have more coastline than Florida and tons of beautiful beaches to boot. If the weather is warm and you want a Caribbean-like beach without the Caribbean-like price tag, we recommend visiting this hidden South Dakota beach with super clear waters:

Literally located along Easy Street in Huron is Ravine Lake Park and its beautiful swim beach!
