Only one of Michigan’s beaches cracked the list: Grand Haven State Park.

Here’s what the writers said about it:

“Set on the shores of Lake Michigan, this 48-acre park with powdery white sand offers activities like fat-tire biking, barbecuing, sunbathing, swimming, and volleyball. There’s also a playground for the children, as well as scenic views of the lake and the Grand Haven South Pier and Lighthouses. While away the day on the beach, staying long enough to see a magical, dip-dyed sunset,” T+L wrote.

Most other beaches ranked were along ocean coastlines, including in Hawaii, San Diego, Florida and North Carolina.
