Oval Beach
Have you ever been to a place that you will never forget? Well, Oval Beach is just like that! Once you take a day there you will never ever forget that day. One can also do some fun activities when you are at Oval Beach like swinging, building sand castles, and of course swimming! These are the reason why Oval Beach is one of my favorite places to visit in Saugatuck.
I love going to Oval Beach because I will just have a blast! Unpacking your beach supplies isn’t very fun, but after that you have the time of your life. One time when I went to Oval Beach with my cousins it wasn’t very sunny out but it was still had a blast. After we unpacked the car and left the parking lot, we looked for a spot to sit. After searching for a few minutes, we found a spot and started to unpack all of our beach stuff. When we finished the fun had begun! We went up to the concession stand so many times I think we left the beach with no money! We gorged ourselves on hot dogs, soft pretzels, ring pops, laffy taffy, tootsie rolls, and slushies. After eating all of the food we wanted, we decided to suntan. When we felt like we were tan enough we got the volleyball and started passing. We played for a while and when we felt like our arms were like noodles we suntanned again. Once we were finished suntanning we went up by the concession stand and swang on the swings. After we became bored on the swings we went back down to our parents and tried to go swimming, but the water was chilly. We decided to build a sand castle instead the sand castle was cool. But we destroyed it! When the day was over we packed up, found our car, and went home. Oval Beach is a great place for families to go to when they visit Saugatuck because there is so much for kids to do. Swinging is fun for kids to do because if they don’t want to swim or build sand castles they can go swing up by the concessions. Also kids can swim in the beautiful lake with their mom, dad, brother, sister, and friends. They will enjoy swimming in Lake Michigan at Oval Beach because the water is clean and there are no sharks. Lastly children can build sand castles or look at some that have been made by other beach goers. Therefore Oval Beach is a great place for families to make memories. So when you visit Saugatuck, DO NOT forget to visit Oval Beach! |
