About this activity
North Avenue Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Chicago, offering sandy space, lake views, and nearby food options. It’s a go-to for full-day summer outings.
The beach creates a lively, high-energy environment for families.
Pro Tips from Lucie:
Arrive early on summer weekends, as parking and beach space fill up quickly.
Pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and sand toys for kids.
Pair your beach day with a walk, bike ride, or stop at a nearby playground.
