👍👍 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. The food Is great, the sand is clean, tons of law enforcement, there was a volleyball tournament going on and the people was having the time of their lives. Hands down this i...

👍 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...

Simmons Island Beach
Beach
👍👍 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...

Lake Street Beach
Beach
👍 This beach is sublime! It truly is. It is beautiful here and it's all soft sand. No rocks. There's somewhat of a boat launch for small watercraft. There is no way you will get a big boat in here, the water is just too shallow. I've seen the jet ski owners have to get off and push multiple times to g...

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...

👍 An uncanny combination of sand dunes, thick forests, oceans, and desert, ​Indiana Dunes National Park has got it all when it comes to natural scenery. The biome here is incredibly diverse, and geology, botany, and wildlife needs will all have an equally good time exploring the many winding trails an...
