Most of us don’t immediately associate beaches with the city of Cleveland. In fact, I am so full of ignorance about the city, that other than it existing inside of Ohio, I only know that Drew Carey was born there. I also know he was a Marine, and that his middle name is Allison, so that shows how much MORE I know about Drew than his birthplace. So if you’re like me, you will be gobsmacked to learn that they put some sand along the edge of Lake Erie and called it a beach. No sharks? No salt water to sting your eyes? Sounds nifty!
I hear they have freshwater jellyfish, however, but not big enough to give you a painful sting that lasts for two weeks with shooting bolts of pain down your leg, like the fun Gulf of Mexico offers. Cleveland’s Edgewater Beach website says one can enjoy 2400 feet of beach and 1000 feet of swimming access. Let’s go! Any readers done some swimming this summer, either alone or completely disobeying all the laws and engaging with friends and family? I surely have not.

I remember the Garth Brooks song, “Beaches of Cleveland.” Powerful.

I’ve been to a beach on Lake Erie, though not this year. It was pretty nice.

I bet! And I gather it’s never a hundred and ten degrees there either.

I have cavorted on the beaches of the Great Lakes before. Cleveland included. I prefer the south even with the monster jelly fish.

We try to visit the beach once every summer. This was the first summer in about 15 years that we didn’t go. Hopefully 2021 will be less eventful!

My dear wife Karen and I have visited Cleveland’s outstanding Rock Hall of Fame and Caught a baseball game at the stadium, Kerbey, but we did not stop for a visit at Lake Erie’s big beach. I have also attended a Bruce Springsteen concert in Cleveland’s arena. Cool city.
As for beach 2020, yes. Posts about that will show up at my place eventually.
