Keep reading and unlock your dreamy summer serenity with Jolly Good Soda.
Unwind in the Sunshine
On a beautiful summer’s day, unwind in the warm, Wisconsin sunshine, whether you relax lakeside, enjoy silent sports, or kickback at local resorts.
Lakeside Relaxation
Home to 15,000 lakes, there’s no shortage of lakeside serenity in Wisconsin. Even better? Find bliss on the beach! Make this summer a dreamy vacation and head to Madeline Island’s Big Bay Beach, on the shores of the great Lake Superior. This sandy beach escape is not only peaceful but also picturesque.
From one Great Lake to another, head to the shores of Lake Michigan and enjoy the tranquility of Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island. This beach is unique and unlike many, located on the Niagara Escarpment. Settle in for a slow, serene beach day, soaking up the sun and making a splash to cool off.
Silent Sports & Resorts
While the northern region of the state certainly offers many peaceful paradises, southern Wisconsin has its own secluded and tranquil gems, like Bigfoot Beach State Park in Lake Geneva. Here, visitors can access a day of repose and relaxation sitting by the shore, or getting on the water! On the water, enjoy various paddle sports, from canoeing and kayaking to stand-up paddle boarding. Don’t have equipment? Clearwater Outdoor has got you covered.
Seeking resort-life serenity? You won’t have to go far…Lake Geneva also offers a wide variety of luxurious resorts, with full-service amenities. To note, Grand Geneva Resort and Spa offers a little taste of everything; golf, hike, bike, spa, and dine all on-site! Another amazing stay is at The Abbey Resort, taking pride in its high-quality hospitality and endless relaxation. With lakeside access, one-day events and activities, indoor and outdoor pools, and even a spa, you’ll be at ease in no time.
No matter where you find your serenity, lakeside, on the water, or at a luxury resort, there’s a sip of Jolly Good Soda that will make it even sweeter. The best part? There’s a flavor for the whole family or group to love, including Fruit Punch, Sour Pow’r, Blue Raspberry, Root Beer, and Orange.
