👍👍 I didn't know about this little gem in the heart of North downtown Chicago. A beach, near the heart of the city. I love it.

👍 A great park, walking distance to both the waterfront and the marina. You can park in the garage if you get there early in the morning or do the paid parking along the shore. The playground is equipped with swings, slides and splash zones for the kids( not to much covering). We recommend going ear...

Lee Street Beach
Beach
😠 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...

Lighthouse Beach
Beach
🫤 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
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...

Oakwood Beach

😐 You can park for as little as $2 for 1 hour. While I came here to see The Secret Mermaid, I was disturbed by the amount of trash, plastic, and glass on the beach. There are trash cans and recycling containers every 50 feet but trash everywhere. I started to pick up trash to keep it from going into...

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...

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
