Just the thought of summer brings a smile to my face after our long, blizzard filled winter here in Boston. For me, the idea of long summer days under a big warm sun conjures one thing: swimming.
I'm originally from Michigan. Now, as a Bostonian, I'm getting use to the ocean way of things. But, the blond, sandy beaches of South Haven were where I spent many summer hours growing up.
And, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about dreamy swimming holes. So, let us know.
Where's your favorite summer swimming location around the world? We want to know where do you practice your cannonballs and lay around soaking in all that summer has to offer.
