Grinnell State Park is looking bucolic.
it's hard to find a decent ocean beach in Iowa. or was it Ohio? or Idaho?
If you hop in a hot air balloon in Indianola, Iowa during their festival, you can almost see the Gulf.
the sand in my sandwich was from Grayland, WA. just south of Westport and north of Longbeach but you could ride a bike to either one on one big fat amazing stretch of beach if you had the right big fat beach cruiser and enough IPA in your growler.
