Have you heard of or been to either of these two little-known beaches in southern Minnesota? These aren't beaches that I would immediately think to go to when I think about beaches but they're probably beaches we should check out sometime!
These beaches were dubbed as being 'little-known' by Only in Your State and those two beaches are Flandrau State Park Beach in New Ulm and Afton State Park Beach in Hastings.

Flandrau State Park Beach
This beach is very unique because it's a sand-bottom swimming pool, technically, but because of the sand, it's the perfect beach to relax on. Unfortunately, according to the Minnesota DNR website, the sand-bottom beach is closed this year. So put this on your list of places to go next summer!
