Indiana, mejores playas

A serene and picturesque beach nestled in a semi-private area of northwest Indiana, offering a refreshing escape from the bustling and noisy city beaches typical of Chicago and even Indiana Dunes. Its tranquil location makes it incredibly relaxing. There is ample parking available; you pay at the card machines and place your paper receipt on your dashboard to inform security that you've paid. The parking rates are reasonable, averaging $12.50 for two hours. You can extend your time in half-hour or hour increments until 6pm, which is when the beach closes. Security personnel inform everyone of the 6pm closing time. Large trash cans are available on the beach, but be cautious of bees that tend to swarm around them. Outdoor showers are conveniently located near the parking lot for rinsing off sand, and there are large port-o-potties near the showers as well. Note that there is no lifeguard on duty, so swimming is at your own risk. The water depth reaches up to 5'6", which is quite comfortable. The charming town of Whiting is easy and interesting to navigate through on the way to the beach, giving the impression of being in another state. However, be aware that you might be delayed by freight trains, Amtrak, etc., for up to 30+ minutes just before the beach entrance, as happened to me. Initially, everyone seemed impatient, but when the gates finally lifted, cheers erupted from multiple cars.

¡Este lugar es increíblemente limpio y tranquilo! Los socorristas están de guardia hasta las 6 p.m., garantizando la seguridad y el monitoreo de cualquier problema. Parece que no mucha gente conoce este lugar, ya que no está nada concurrido.

Las vistas en la playa eran increíblemente tranquilas y mi familia pasó un tiempo maravilloso disfrutando de la tranquilidad.

¡Nos topamos con un verdadero tesoro! La playa estaba casi vacía cuando llegamos, pero era justo antes de una tormenta. Charlamos con otro bañista que nos advirtió que puede estar bastante concurrido. Si bien hay un amplio espacio en la playa, el estacionamiento es limitado.
