Beaches and Parks: The Beach

Sure our beach...
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Beach

    Sure our beach season is really only two months long but nothing beats Lake Michigan in July or August in Chicago. Remember Lake Michigan is the size of the Adriatic Sea, this is no puddle. Fresh water (albeit a bit cold), loads of beaches, and great people watching make the lakefront a local treasure. Chicago's beaches won't make you forget Brazil, Morocco, or the South Pacific, but spend a day lakeside in August, with skyscrapers for a backdrop, and you will have no regrets..
