Another great Beach day at Good Harbor

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Wonderful Wednesday at Good Harbor Beach., with many smiling beach goers.   The ocean was telling a story.  The Purple and Red flags were hanging from the light guard stand.  The Red Flag is for rough seas and purple for marine life, such as jelly fish.  I did not see any jelly fish.  The Purple Flag does not indicate sharks.  It was a beauty of a day.
