Small Lake Michigan beach with a gentle shoreline, low rock breakwaters and views north toward the Chicago skyline. Great for sunrise and golden-hour seascapes, long-exposure wave blur, and intimate shore details (driftwood, pebbles). Easy street parking on Sheridan Rd and nearby Metra access; no entry fee. Summer mornings are busiest with swimmers and families; autumn and winter deliver dramatic skies, ice formations and cleaner compositions.
