CFrance, You are made of heartier stuff than me; I am an A number 1 wimp. I have rented houses with family along Lake Michigan in August, which is usually when the Lake is at its warmest temp, and the Lake was way too cold for me even in August. I slightly prefer the Gulf of Mexico beaches, but the Atlantic beaches in the summer months are also good.
