A Guide To Chicagos 27 Beaches Concessions, Where To Park And More

Chicago, ILLocal News

A comprehensive guide showcases Chicago's 27 beaches, detailing amenities, accessibility, and unique features. With many beaches currently closed due to erosion, such as Juneway and Rogers Beach, local residents face limitations on swimming and lounging. The guide highlights historical facts, including the origin of the name "Juneway" from developer Sivert Tobias Gunderson. Most beaches lack bathroom facilities and concessions, and accessibility is limited, with no paths to the shoreline at several sites. Parking is restricted, and public transport options include the Red Line.

The beaches are open from 6 a. m. to 11 p. m. , with swimming allowed only between 11 a.

m. and 7 p. m. during the season. This resource is vital for Chicagoans eager to enjoy the lakefront despite current challenges.

As summer approaches, the guide provides essential information for planning beach visits.
