Question

I'm looking for the closest OCEAN beach NOT lake near Indianapolis IN ...I need a short vacation.

Answer 1

All the beaches are about equidistant from Indianapolis; interesting.

But here are the beaches that are closest to you:

Pensacola Beach FL 737 miles; 11 hrs 33 min

Atlantic City NJ 716 miles;11 hrs. 33 min

Kiawah Island (near Charleston) SC 750 miles; 11 hrs 50 min

Virginia Beach VA 777 miles; 12 hours 4 min

Ocean City MD 729 miles; 12 hrs 6 min.

If I were you, I'd go to Pensacola Beach, the sand is soft and white. In Atlantic city you can also visit the casinos.

Kiawah island is absolutely the most beautiful, but it is expensive. Have a good rest.

Answer 2

I agree, although Michigan & Indiana are surrounded by water, they are ALL lakes.....You want the ocean you have to go West to Cali, East to Florida/Carolinas or down to gulf of mexico (texas, La)

Answer 3

The closest Ocean beach, by car, is in NJ, or NY, maybe even delware or maryland, all are between 650 to 800 miles away, about 14 hours or so.

Answer 4

You better head south...Florida is your closest bet!
