Lake Michigan is dotted with popular and breathtaking beaches, making it difficult to choose the best one. While staying in Chicago is an option, the inland lakes and quarries in the suburbs offer picturesque views and are much less crowded.
It’s no wonder that on a day when temperatures reach 70 degrees or more, people often take the drive north or hop on the Metra train.
Yet if you’re looking to narrow down the choices, one of the most stunning spots on Lake Michigan’s North Shore is Glencoe Beach.
This beach offers a peaceful escape, featuring a spray ground for children, a full concession stand, two volleyball courts, and five sun shelters available for daily rental. Additionally, you can rent paddleboards, kayaks, and sailboats on a daily basis.
Glencoe Beach features a rental beach house, a sprayground, and more
