I would be willing to bet that it is, ALL the good fresh water beaches are North of the Mason-Dixon line
Most of the beaches in the north have both dark water and dirty looking sand. I spent a lot of time "down the shore" in my youth. It makes it hard to see the hypodermics.
Its south of the line, but not by much. Its Onslow Beach on Camp Lejeune. It was stormy and windy but we were already on base and wanted to see the beach there...got some cool shots though. I'll throw them all in a thread in Adventure/Travel later
I love it! I would certainly recommend pelican coolers as would @Bushman5 I would even say I prefer it to my cabelas cooler. If I were buying a cooler again I would definitely go with pelican
