Diehard beach fans brave icy Lake Superior on Memorial DayA young man goes for a swim amongst floating ice in Lake Superior near Marquette, Mich.

The beaches are open but the water in the Great Lakes is still quite cold.

That's not stopping some diehard beach lovers in Michigan. They made the most out of the Memorial Day holiday by taking a "refreshing" dip in Lake Superior.

The water temperature isn't even up to 40 degrees yet in the Upper Peninsula and you can still see blocks of ice off the shore in Marquette. But there were still plenty of brave people playing volleyball and even taking out kayaks and canoes.
