I really liked this beach a lot! So close to south loop and it was really enjoyable!! We walked from planetarium side and took taxi to go back, it was very convenient! Beautiful blue water!!
Very clean beach,quiet daytime and romantic night time for a walk,definetly worth seeing it
12th St., Beach. It’s a nice place to cool down in a hot city just adjacent to the museum area of Chicago. This little gem of a beach is a great spot for an afternoon picnic or a full day of playing and swimming.
Sanders clean the water is clear the lifeguarding is good and there’s even a little snack shack to get some treats for a long hot day

Great little beach with a handful of attentive lifeguards. But one of the male lifeguards was cursing aloud with his friends near children.
Beautiful beach for family to visit.

Chicagos hidden beach — nice sand, right off the bike path and coolly secluded. Will def come back. Very close to northerly island
Great place to enjoy the beach. You have to pay for parking and they do have bathrooms ( I don’t like the bathrooms. They are very dirty) other than that this is a great place to come and have fun with the kids m. They also have a taco stand that’s great.
Cool little beach. :) Great place to explore after visiting Adler Planetarium.
