Peaceful and relaxing! The small parking lot fills up quickly especially on weekends. you can see the side of Mt. Baldy from the parking lot. And yes, it is rather bald! The trail to the beach is about half mile and really sandy! I had some problems walking in the deep sand and found muscles that I did not know that I had! Still, I would not have missed it for anything! The trail to Mt. Baldy is closed due to instability. So, no dune climbing. Ranger led hikes on the dune used to be available until covid closed them down. The sandy descent to the beach is about 25-50 feet. Going down was easy but coming back up was a bit more strenuous. The view up top is amazing! The walk along the beach is awesome! Lots of waves. The other side of Mt. Baldy backs up to the beach. And you can climb this area for even better views. Loved the light house! And you can see Chicago from this beach. Bathrooms were available near the parking lot.

A great beach for the family. Everything you need for a great day! One admission price to park, use the beach, and the kids play area. The boardwalk to the lighthouse is an added plus. The sunset is amazing from here. Washington Park Zoo is right across the street, and plenty of area to picnic and park.

It’s a nice inexpensive zoo to see lions, deer, wolves, monkeys, lemurs, peacocks, eagles, sea otters and more. The zoo is compact and easy to get around. Also there are some great scenic areas that you can see Lake Michigan and the beach from.
