North Avenue Beach is a public beach located in Lincoln Park at 1601 N. Lake Shore Drive, where LaSalle Street meets the lakefront.

It features a building that looks like a big boat, which offers snacks and bathrooms during the warmer months. On summer days, the beach attracts sunbathers and volleyball players by the thousands. In the winter, the wind off of Lake Michigan can penetrate your bones, but the new found solitude and accompanying view remain beautiful.
