Hidden gems extend outside city spots, nature is all around offering unforgettable experiences.

Writer Savannah Nelson states, “What many people don’t realize about Milwaukee is its summertime transformation into a beach town. Lake Michigan is so large, that it easily feels like the shores of a coast, including sandy beaches. First-time visitors should check out Atwater Beach for a scenic day at the lake, or head to South Shore, where water views meet one of the city’s best beer gardens.”

And, it’s true! Milwaukee’s status as a beach town is one of my favorite traits; the fun summer vibes make it much more tolerable after the long winters. In addition to sandy beaches and beer gardens, I also recommend adventures on the Milwaukee River, or nearby lakes and parks.

Thanks for the inclusion, Redfin!
