So let me get this straight: Indiana Dunes National Park offers 'singing sand'—yes, sand that squeaks beneath your feet! But wait, it’s also got smokestacks billowing steam and industrial zones within sight? The Chicago skyline mocks you on the horizon, reminding you it’s less 'escape' and more 'urban beachfront with attitude.' As the article puts it, it's a sandy oasis where you can take in the 'Lake Michigan endless ocean' vibes while occasionally wondering if you’re on a beach or a factory tour. Truly, a hidden gem that’s part nature retreat, part logistics hub!
