However, when I decide to have a beach day, I love going to 12th street beach. It’s located so close to downtown Chicago, but also feels so secluded from the city, located

Chicago North Avenue beach is one of the best beaches for families. Oak Street beach if you are single. Monday is the day least crowded. Get in the lot before 10am to park or park all the way down in the zoo lot and use footbridge. #chicago #chicagorecommendations #beach #tips #fyp Chica
