Amazing sand. Water that you can walk, in some cases, 100s of metres into before it gets "deep". Miles-long beaches that aren't packed end-to-end with huge crowds (although Grand can get like this at times). Virtually zero industrial presence on the lakes, so the water is some of the cleanest on the continent (at least in comparison to other large lakes, most of which have heavy industrial activity on their shores and large cities dumping semi-treated effluent into them).
What are water temperatures like?
