Awesome views of the city. Unfortunately, due to the season, it's already close to going for a swim, but it's really good to go for a walk, especially on a date night

Love this little sandy beach, which has fantastic views of the city. This is an excellent place to wander, swim, sunbathe or just to grab a snack or drink.

It was a very clean beach with great surroundings lots of people playing volleyball and a nice little cafe right next to it vendors come up and sell ice cream and drinks throughout the day as well. Beautiful scenery with the city skyline and lots of diverse groups of people

Went to Montrose Beach and decided to go back to Ohio beach because the waves were definitely calmer. 👌 perfect for the kids to swim. We loved this one.

Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! One of the best, clean beaches along Lake Shore Drive, in the heart of Downtown Chicago. Recently enjoyed a nice run through this area and watched Open Water Swim Chicago.
