This wide, curving beach is the United Nations of Chicago beaches. Situated near the multi-ethnic Uptown neighborhood, it's impossible to count the number of languages spoken here. The water is shallow with a small dropoff, making it perfect for water Frisbee. There's also a boat launch, volleyball, a breakwater, concessions, a bird sanctuary and ample parking.
