So .. does a beach have to have sand? Madison Beach here alongside Lake Washington does not really have sand, and the water is not salty. We have to make do with what we have since it’s a heck of a drive out to the open ocean’s beaches here from the city !
The scene at Madison Beach park at 5 pm on Sunday afternoon. The water is still cold, so only the bravest souls venture in this early in the season. It is 2.2 miles from where I live (A) to Madison ‘beach’ on Lake Washington (B). I walked out there; it’s downhill most of the way. And then I cheated and caught the No 11 bus to bring me back three-quarters of the way.
