Where is the nearest beach to Fargo?

[SPANISH-RICE]

detroit lakes is probably the best bet. alot of restraunts around and its a big beach.

[HandoEX]

+1 for Detroit Lakes. There are 100's of other lakes but Detroit Lakes is the best place with a beach to visit if you're from out of town.

Thanks guys!

Can anyone give me directions to get out there, starting from West Acres?

[STiSchucky]

youre on i-29...

take i-94 east towards minneapolis

go into moorhead minnesota, take exit 6(highway 336) and head north after the loop around...(hang a right at the end of the loop)

go north for about 3 miles till you hit high way 10...take highway 10 east ALL the way to Detroit lakes..

Dont get off 10, it'll take you right into the city of DL, once you get into it, take a right at I believe its the 2nd stop light, a.k.a. washington ave. and follow it right up to the lake. It's got parking on the side of the street and you just walk to the beach.

I recommend Zorbaz food once you're there.

damn kirk youre really pimpin DL out . you get some of the cut over at zorbaz or what?

[PSiedTSi]

I will further his Zorbaz recommendation by saying if you like hamburger, bacon, etc on your pizza, try "The Bun" pizza. It's like $20 for a large but holy shit it's awesome. Or the nachos are always a safe bet too!

Dammit. Now I want Zorbaz. Douchebags.

Okay thanks for all the info! Now, i've got another question...

Are there any 18+ bars in Fargo? Damn the US for having to be 21! (I'm 21, but the gf is 20)

[treimche]

No 18+ bars here any more. There's some place that advertises on the radio for people under 21 to hang out at, apparently they serve stuff to drink there.

• 1,000 for Zorbaz. Its a must stop in DL.

Islands MAY have 18+ while you're here. I know they used to, but I'm not too familiar with them.

Islands is on the southeast side of the "strip"(street that goes along the beach, continues from Washington Ave), keep following it around past the lake, on the left hand side. If anything, that's your best bet.

Here is their info:
1375 W Lake Dr
Detroit Lakes, MN 56501
(218) 847-8828

Surprisingly...yes. I overheard some teenie-boppers talking about it at the mall the other day.

Speaking of beaches, I really enjoyed my vacation off the coast of North Carolina this week.

What did I miss while I was gone?
