11 Beautiful Beach Pictures To Help You Cope With The Forecast

With the impending snowstorm putting a damper on the start of spring, we thought it might be fun to lift your spirits and distract you with some pictures of sunny, warm beaches. We asked our Patch readers across Pennsylvania to submit their favorite summer photos, and they responded!

Here are a few of our favorites:

We hope these photos remind you that warm days are just ahead, and we're crossing our fingers that we'll be able to trade our snow boots for flip flops soon.

Thank you for your submissions!
