With lake levels dropping, some Lake Michigan beaches are making a comeback

A gull looked out from a perch and surveyed Lake Michigan’s southern shore. With a turn of its head, the bird clocked visitors in search of beach glass, a boy to the right rolling down the dunes and a brave spring swimmer fully submerged. A long sweep of sand under a bright sky called out to the Memorial Day crowd. Lake Michigan is easing up — after swallowing shorelines, flooding coasts and breaking records — and just in time for beach season.

A group of Great Lakes officials estimated at least $500 million of damage in cities last year.
