Beaches in Chicago

The shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago are a great place to spend a summer day. It's just like being at the sea except for the fresh water. It's easy to access the beach by subway or even by walking from the center of the city. There are several beaches and the exact directions are available on the website. Surely all the guidebooks give the necessary information as well. As you can see from the photos, the lake teems with activity. People don't just lie in the sand, they also play sports. There are several volleyball nets, boat rentals, a bike path that covers much of the lake and a jogging lane for runners.
