I was actually surprised by how nice this lakefront beach was, considering its relative proximity to the Loop. Lots of people were playing volleyball at the nets, and plenty more were sunbathing or sw...
We visited the beach on a stormy and rainy day, so the beach was deserted. The beach is close to the center of town so I can imagine that it's quite crowded on a warm day There's a running and biking ...

The area of sand or small stones at the edge of the sea is man-made and the sand is shipped in, but people here do not seem to care. Unfold the pool chair and soak in the view of Lake Michigan and the John Hancock building, as well as the avenue that have an influence or effect on something the large area of water surrounded by land's name.

Nice clean beach. Can be somewhat crowded but definitely lots of space for all.
Nothing better than Oak Street beach in the summer!
Quieter, cleaner beach than north Ave. nice little cafe for overpriced drinks and sub par food but what do expect from a beach pop up!
Great beach in heart of Chicago right off the Magnificent Mile. It has a good beach bar and lounge as well as beach volleyball courts during the season.
