Urban Beach

Belle Isle is one of my favorite spots in Detroit. There probably isn't a more peaceful place to connect with nature in motown than this island park in the heart of the city.

The place deserves a whole article written about it because it has so much to offer, there's a conservatory, aquarium, a museum, golf range, nature center and even more cool attractions to attend. And of course the beach.
If you're feeling like taking a dip in the Detroit river that would be the spot, although some people prefer to stay away from the waters because they aren't exactly the cleanest, some still give it a try haha, Alexa doesn't mind one bit.

I didn't swim in the river because, I don't know, I heard bad things about it, but I guess the city inspects the water and it's safe, so. Either way, it was a rainy day yesterday in the D so I just wet my feet by the shore (still got 'em, they didn't fall off or anything like it and in case you're wondering, Alexa didn't mutate either hahaha).

I didn't feel like carrying the camera that day, and now I kinda regret not taking it, phone pictures don't quite do this place a justice. But oh well, there will be another time.
