Small Lake Michigan lakefront with a paved promenade, piers and grassy bays that frame distant Chicago skyline and colorful sunsets. Best for golden‑hour seascapes, skyline telephoto shots and festival/street scenes. Accessible parking (paid kiosks), occasional trains can block exits, restrooms vary by season. Weekends busier during events; weekdays and early morning offer solitude.
