😠 The beach is beautiful, the water fresh, cool and clear. The problem is that you cannot enjoy it. The beach is so severely regulated with kids enforcing ignorant laws and they are extremely overzealous. There's a small square of buoys that your allowed to swim and nowhere else. It's so small that th...

👍👍 My family and I have lived this beach forever. Born and raised in kenosha, I could never imagine leaving the lake front area. What peace the view brings after a long hard day, or what a scene to just go for a nice calm walk. My kids ask to go to the beach even in the winter lol. Although I will say...

🫤 They are charging for passes now and this is a public beach. Seems weird and not right. Public means anyone can go in for free. Given COVID, passes would be fine to limit capacity but they should be free. You can’t even buy passes at the gate. Seems like they are trying to prevent certain people fro...

Clark Street Beach

🫤 $80 pass fee for non resident. Plus pay for parking. Dangerous area because cars drive way too fast and not always stop at the people crossing area. There is always at least 1 crazy person there every time I have been in past yrs as well as this last time taking pictures of people randomly. Large sa...

Gillson Beach

😠 Paid 16$ per person and can’t swim at all. You stay in the waste deep water after that staff whistle at you! Horrible feeling like a child being scolded constantly. P.s. toilet is dirty and smells so bad. WHY??? We pay 16$ for entering and you still don’t have enough money for cleanup and remodel...

Rosewood Beach

👍 Gorgeous beach! Just be aware they do try to make this not friendly for anyone who doesn’t live in this wealthy area. You have to pay for parking ($10 an hour) and $10 per person beach pass. They really do not want non locals (aka not rich white folks) coming here lol

Indian Trail Beach
Beach
😠 The lifeguard was oblivious for only residents in their community allowed to use a small beach area that consisted of not even a range of 50 people. He deliberately ignored the fact of travelers coming to enjoy the beautiful beach and all of its surroundings by the statement,” You are not allowed in...

👍👍 If your looking for a shallow beech this is the one, the water is maybe 3feet deep in the areas they allow swimming. It is never too crowded and there is always a life guard on duty

Northwestern University - Lincoln St. Beach
Beach
👍 This beach is free with a NU ID or a Henry Crown/SPAC membership, otherwise you have to pay the usual Evanston fees to get onto the beach. The beach itself is small and there isn't really room for a volley ball net, but it's clean and still has a good view. Room for throwing frisbees in the back. Ju...
