The Lake Superior water was quite warm.  It was hot on the beach and the waves were very small.
I was hoping for some crashing wave action, but it was peaceful and relaxing.
I was alone for about 30 minutes and then some families starting showing up.  It was a hot day in Superior and once school & work was over for the day, the beach was filling up.
I left at about 5:30pm as the activity level was increasing.

A float plane did a fly over.

It was a good visit to the big lake, I can't wait to go back, maybe when the waves are crashing.
