This is an awesome beach so close to Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue. It is normally not as crowded as Oak Street Beach or North Avenue Beach . Great for distance swimming as well .
Beautiful little beach right in downtown Streeterville. More low key than North Beach and a hop away from Navy Pier & the Magnificent Mile.
The sun gets blocked by the buildings around 3pm, which caused me to move inward away from the water. So definitely go earlier in the day for more sunshine
There's a nice park next to it where you can ride bike or hang out. Very close to the pier
After the beach , walk over to the Navy Pier and ride the Ferris Wheel. A perfect end to a beach day.
If you're swimming , the first red buoy is 1/4 mile (at Chicago) and the second is 1/2 mile (right before the turn to Oak St . Beach ).
It's open till 11p when the cops chase everyone out, but you can come back pretty much 20 min later after they're gone and stay at the beach all night long if you want lol
Pack your towel, sunscreen and relax on Chicago's only North facing beach . Just a super short walk from Navy Pier :)
Beautiful beach that's fairly quiet .
Perfect it's a good place
One of the better beaches in the city hidden away from the main drag and nowhere near as crowded as North Ave , or Oak St .
They just opened a restaurant this year. I haven't tried it but its nice to have!
Handy lockers on standby. Bring a lock!
Nice beach and jogging area closeby to the CBD area
Beautiful Beach and trail to Jog
Very pretty and peaceful in such a busy city .
Quiet beach compared to north ave
More relaxed than North Street and right next to Navy Pier
Nice views and beautiful place.
Good spot for open water swimming , the sidewalk is marked off in 100m increments
Great Place to enjoy the sun!
Great beers and staff
Great food
Pack York towel, sunblock and chill at Chicago's only north facing beach
Best beach in the city , especially if you want to avoid the scene at North Ave .
Gotta see in chi town .
Don't bother bringing a float- the life guards wont allow you to use it.
Shallow and small.
Yay beach time.
by far the best beach in the city .
Grab some grub from the Robinson's BBQ
Favorite place in the city
Una playa pequeñita, si quieres nadar en el lago , no olvides traje de baño y bloqueador solar.
Весьма специфическое место, если вы понимаете о чем я =)
Clean beach with an unreal view of the city skyline. Loved it! - Mark Wong
