Excellent chill clean beach at the edge of the city. There are public bathrooms, a place for food/drinks, and lounge chair/umbrella rentals. We had a great relaxing beautiful day. Magnificent views of Chicago.

Oak Street Beach is a great spot to relax and take in some of Chicago’s best views. It can get quite crowded, especially on nice days, but the beach is spacious enough. The people-watching is excellent, and the skyline views are hard to beat. Whether you’re looking to spend a few hours by the water, play sand volleyball, or just take a walk along the lakefront, it’s a fun place to experience a classic Chicago summer day.

Perfectly walkable most days of winter! Don’t walk past the barricades when they are up! Be safe and take in the beauty of our year round lakeshore trail!
