Here is another beach

The beaches are surprisingly clean, and so is the water,considering that nearly 10 million people live on the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan....

But if you want pristine waters go outside the city about 25 miles to the Indiana Dunes

I was floored first time I was in Chicago in July and saw the very nice sandy beaches and the blue water of Lake Michigan that looked like the water in the Carib. Very blue and clear. The beaches of the Great Lakes are America's best kept secret.

That's the usual on the American west coast (wind pulls in ocean air, which contains a marine layer — the air near the ocean condenses). I've seen much lighter fog on beaches in the east coast, and here valley fog from strong radiation cooling on summer nights as well. Happens only occasionally. We got fog Monday morning, not sure the reason, the morning temperature was 70°F.
