Chicago Public Beaches
Chicago's Lakefront, Chicago, IL 60611
Biking
Chicago’s 26 miles of lakefront and beaches are free and open to residents and visitors alike.
In fact, they were foremost in Daniel Burham’s plan to make Chicago’s lakefront and beaches always open and unobstructed for the public to enjoy. And to this day, you can see that his vision is still alive and well, from the joggers and volleyball players to the swimmers and sail boaters who take to the lakefront every day. Of course, admission is free.
