Nothing says sum­mer more than the feel­ing of sand between your toes and the sound of water lap­ping on the beach.

As sum­mer begins, many stu­dents find hours of extra time on their hands. A great way to spend their newly-acquired free time is with a trip to a Michigan beach.A trip to a beach requires a few essen­tial things: sun­glasses to pro­tect your eyes from harm­ful ultra­vi­o­let rays, sun­screen or sun­tan lotion, a swim­suit, an umbrella for shade, tow­els, and a packed lunch.

According to con​sumersearch​.com, con­sumers agree that Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55 is the over­all best sun­screen. This prod­uct promises to pro­tect against short– and long-wave UVA rays, which are respon­si­ble for long-term skin dam­age. Neutrogena claims this sun­screen will nei­ther run into the eyes nor sweat or towel off. It is impor­tant to reap­ply sun­screen every five hours after swim­ming or heavy sweating.

The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim shows for 2010 dis­played a wide array of col­or­ful swim attire. Toss those bor­ing neu­tral swim­suits away and add a splash of color to your look; let excit­ing col­ors run ram­pant on your new bathing suit.

Michigan offers dozens of incred­i­ble beaches; choos­ing just one can be a dif­fi­cult deci­sion. If you’re look­ing for a pris­tine and clean beach to go to with the fam­ily, check out the beaches in Muskegon. If you’re look­ing for activ­i­ties out­side of the water, check out the rocks and stones on the beaches of Ludington.

Erica Asaro, fresh­man in pre-pharmacy, says that Sleeping Bear Dunes in Empire, Mich. is her favorite beach.

“One year, my fam­ily and I climbed all of the dunes; it took about two hours,” said Asaro. “When we finally got to Lake Michigan, the water was clear and refresh­ing and was the most per­fect beach I’ve ever seen.”

Asaro said that going to the beach is a per­fect begin­ning to a relax­ing summer.
