This beach is great for LGBTQ guests. The beach has a great vibe, small restaurant, bathrooms, and some activities are available. This is the place to go if you want to be among the locals in the city.

The beach is really fun and really close! You could walk straight down Lawrence Ave. and get to a great beach in 30 minutes. Or you can rent a bike or drive and park for free. Parking at the lake is tough on the weekends.

A place to be at the beach with the most colorful individuals you will find in Chicago! Walk to the north end of the beach where you can collect sea glass of many different colors.

This beach is one of the safest, cleanest, quietest beaches in the entire city. It is a hidden gem with excellent views. The northern stretch is a great family oriented spot and the southern stretch is a colorful, vibrant gay beach with volleyball and other beach sports. Rent a bike and travel a few miles north to this beach on the lakeshore trail.
