The Michigan (West Michigan) side of Lake Michigan where the OP is asking about has no rock and is pure clean golden quartz sand and wide beaches and lake bottom plus so many large sandunes with several hundreds of feet high. This sand only occurs in 2 places on the planet Earth, mainly in Michigan and is found in a few places in Australia. It sings when you walk on it and that's why is called "singing sand". The West Michigan sand never breaks down into a powder like rock does which then becomes slippery murky clay. It doesn't stick like glue to you like salt water beach sand does.
Well, yes, except that such dunes and singing sand also occur all along the many beaches in Indiana,(along with sand dunes over 125 high in some places) and the singing sands also occur on the beaches of Apostle Island National Seashore in northern Wisconsin (on Lake Superior). And probably several other places around the Great Lakes.
And on your other post, there are many beautiful, rural and suburban places along the Lake Michigan shoreline that are east of Gary,IN. and do not have such problems. Using your logic, others might say "Stay out of Michigan, because Detroit is located there."
Michigan is a beautiful state and well worth visiting and vacationing there. You need not disparage other places to try to make Michigan more attractive.
