Montrose Beach Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Unless you visit Montrose Beach, you won't believe there is such a spectacular sandy beach in the American Midwest. In fact, Montrose Beach is not close to the sea. It is actually a 26-mile (42-kilometer) stretch of lakeside sand on Lake Michigan. The beach is located in Chicago's Lincoln Park, just a stone's throw from the city center. Come here and you'll see an amazing variety of wildlife, including hordes of snow owls and North American purple swallows. In addition to watching wild waterfowl, Montrose Beach is a great place for people to fly kites and surf.

The beach is clean and the sand is softer
Located in the north of Chicago, part of Lincoln Park, the beach really makes people forget that it's a lakeside place. It feels like a blue boundless sea. Because it's late autumn, there are very few people here. It's very comfortable to walk with the lake breeze.
It's still a good choice to relax here. It's good to play beach volleyball on the beach and take a walk.
Montrose Beach is the largest and best beach in Chicago. There will be lots of parking spaces in the morning. It also has a big dog beach, a bird protection area. Bird enthusiasts will like it here.
If you didn't know you were in Chicago in the middle of the United States, here you can see the blue Great Lakes (Lake Michigan) as vast as the ocean, and the beaches on the shore are no less sandy (thin) or colorful (yellow belt white) than many domestic beaches, plus a long coastline, naturally become a good place for many local people to relax and sunbathe.
