This former airfield is now a beautiful park clinging to the edge of the lake. There is even a beach right by it! We spent the day hiking around and enjoying a picnic in the sun and had a totally alternative but great day out in the "city"!

I hadn't really considered that Chicago would have beaches, but it does! This was near our accommodation so we stopped by quite a few times. You get a park and a beach in one, which to my mind, is the way to do it!

Once the sun comes out in Chicage this is THE place to be, so get there early to grab your spot on the sand. After a summer in Chicago I have come to love this beach and the lovely cool waters of Lake Michigan, just the ticket for the hot, the tired or the weary.

Just north of magnificent mile, and a short walk north of the pier
