If you are in Chicago during the summer, you should stop here. Nice clean beach with plenty of space. There are food options either on the beach or across the road. The bike path also cuts by here.

Favorite (and closest 😊) beach in Chicago. Clean. Small sand beach with Oak beach bar. Place for volleyball. A place to jump into the water. Spectacular view of the city!

Close to the city center with a beach bar/restaurant. Next to a park. I would definitely recommend it for a walk and coffee/lunch break.
