I’m with you, in having reconsidered the sand-beach.
Side note: I grew up going to Cold Spring Harbor beach once a year as my Uncle was a scientist there, and that one is sandy despite being on the north of LI.
Schoolhouse Beach, Door County has a bit more of trip with it, being on Washington Island and all, but it’s the most magnificent example I’ve seen of a rock beach with astonishing water clarity (another bonus feature of many rocky beaches) and a really dramatic visible plunge to depth.
A traveler who appreciates other travel stories should not miss the Bread and Water Cafe and Kayak and Canoeing museum attached. Who knows how much longer gems like this will last if people don’t visit but it is a TREASURE. https://www.restless-viking.com/2021/06/29/the-remarkable-valerie-fons/
Washington Island is on my list of places I want to visit, but I haven't made it there yet so I'm excited for these recommendations! Also, this past weekend I went for a swim at a sandy beach and it took forever to get all the sand off my feet--another plus for a rocky beach!
Some great rocky beaches near MKE. We like the rocks near Grant Park or across from Seminary Woods.
