Ohio Street Beach, Chicago, IL

Ohio Street Beach occupies a compact strip of shoreline at the north end of Chicago’s Lakefront Trail, directly accessible from Lake Shore Drive and within walking distance of Streeterville’s retail corridors. A 1,000-foot curved breakwater creates a protected swimming area with gradual sandy entry and lifeguard coverage from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The adjacent Ohio Street Beach Boathouse provides restrooms, changing facilities, and seasonal kayak and paddleboard rentals. Cyclists and runners reach the site via the uninterrupted 18-mile Lakefront Trail, while nearby Ohio Street offers direct vehicle access and metered parking. Looking east, the skyline of Streeterville and the Ogden Slip marina frames the water; to the north, Navy Pier’s Ferris wheel and Centennial Wheel are visible across the harbor. The beach sits minutes from the Northwestern University medical campus, the Chicago Riverwalk extension, and multiple CTA bus routes, allowing residents to combine lake recreation with downtown errands or medical appointments without relying on a car.
