This Summer’s Most Affordable Beach Vacation is in Wisconsin

Less people plan to take a vacation this year due to the rising prices of, well, everything. It's unfortunate because even if it's just a short weekend road trip, we all need a vacation here and there to disconnect and relax.

Lucky for us in Minnesota, though, we are very close to the town that is now being called the most affordable lakefront town to go to for a beach vacation. Woo!

Pack your bags, we're going to the beach.

Long Beach, CA has the cheapest round-trip airfare (but we all know that food and lodging aren't the cheapest in Cali).

And for the cheapest beach vacation rentals, you'll want to go to Tampa, FL.

All of those destinations would be great, but they all require a flight or a long car trip.

Milwaukee, WI is the Most Affordable Lake Town Beach Vacation Spot

Luckily, closer to home, we've got the most affordable lakefront town, and that title goes to Milwaukee, WI!

Travel+Leisure writes that there are nine beaches that line Lake Michigan just in Milwaukee.

Some of their beaches include Bradford Beach, McKinley Beach, which I hear has a beer garden, and Grant Beach.

For a 2-night stay for 2 adults, Beach.com estimates that, if you stay at a hotel, you'll spend about $1,818 on the whole vacation. If you'd rather be in something like an Airbnb, that'll cost you about $1,936.

By the way, both of those prices include their estimate for flights, so it'd be even cheaper for us Minnesotans!
