Evanston Swimming Beaches Now Open!

If you don’t have travel plans for South Beach or Southern California, don’t despair!  Miles of sandy shores are now open for the season right here in Evanston.  For the sunny weekends ahead, pack the cooler and head to the lakefront for swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing, or just lounging on the sand.  You will need a beach token or a daily pass to enjoy the beaches, but on a hot summer day, it is well worth it!  Daily passes are available for $8 any person 12 or older, and $6 for children age 1-11. Children under 1 year of age are admitted for free!

Not a nautical pro?  Sailing and kayak lessons are available at the Dempster Street Beach.  No boat, no problem, watercraft rentals are available by the hour, or discounted bundle rates. If you’re looking to spend a lot of time out on the water, an unlimited rental pass is available for $600 for Evanston residents and $800 for non-residents.

Here is a list of the local beaches open for your pleasure:

Lighthouse Beach- Central St and Sheridan Rd
Clark Street Beach- Clark St and Sheridan Rd
Dempster/Greenwood St Beach- Greenwood St
Lee Street Beach- Lee St and Lake Shore Blvd
South Boulevard Beach- South Blvd at the lakefront
Dog Beach- Church St at the lakefront
*The Dog Beach is open from 7am to 8pm, but don’t forget to get a pass before your visit!

See you out there!
