LGBTQIA2S+ friendly large beach, with clean & spacious bathroom facilities, water fountains, volleyball court poles & concessions. Don’t be surprised to find topless women or people dressed in bondage in the daytime. No one blinks an eye because everyone minds their own business & are just comfortable being themselves. Only downside to this beach is parking can be a little tough, but there is free parking around if you’re willing to walk.
It is a small beach in North Sheridan, in Edge water area. Chicago the view is great from here. In winter it is totally frozen and in summer's it's full of people from all walk of lives there is one restaurant also but only opens in summer..
I love this neighborhood beach. The first nice spring weekend and Chicagoans head to the lake. So beautiful and relaxing.
I went on a Sunday so I’m not sure how it is supposed to be but I needed to go to the restrooms and they were locked except for one which did not have a functioning flush and it was gross!
Awesome beach! You forget that you're in Chicago. It's not a nude beach (officially), but it very definitely has a Haulover Beach feel to it.

The north end of the beach tends to be the family end, while the south end is more fun, open-minded, and LGBT.
Five stars for the beach, 1 star for the bar, i mean their kitchen. Worst nachos i ever had, i don’t have any complaints about the workers there, but they should improve their food quality. For example last years bar had way way better nachos.
Really fun, big beach. The clubhouse has clean restrooms, a shower for feet and bodies, and there's a wheelchair accessible trail that goes almost all the way to the water. Good for families and also a gay beach! Lots of fun. Nice grassy picnic area and right on the LSD bike path.
