North Avenue Beach and Chess Pavilion - Chicago

  • NileGuide Expert Says:

    The lakefront can get crowded here in the summer time; watch for rollerbladers and bikers when crossing the path.


  • Description:

    • Cross over the North Avenue Bridge from Lincoln Park, pause to admire the stunning view of Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue, and then head to the beach to stake your ground for summertime fun. Left to crumbling and rust for many years, the North Avenue Beach House was recently restored. Shaped something like a boat, the beach house contains restrooms and snack bars. If swimming and sun bathing is not your thing, try matching wits with one of the players at the vintage chess pavilion near the beach house.
