Latest reviews on Evanston's beaches

Montrose Beach
10 Eliza Ainsworth

This beach is the ideal spot for your furry friend to cool off in the summer heat! The water is shallow enough, and during the weekdays, it's much less crowded. There's convenient free parking nearby. Just keep in mind that it's a dog beach, so be cautious when setting up your sunbathing area – you might end up with a dog marking its territory on your chair! So far, the people here have been very friendly.

Glencoe Beach
10 megan carter

The beach may be smaller in size, but it's a hit with my kids! They absolutely adore the playground where they can have a great time. Additionally, there are water sprayers for them to run around in, and convenient eating areas and pergolas on the side. It's always maintained well and kept clean, which is impressive. Moreover, the season pass is reasonably priced, making it one of our top choices among the local beaches!

Loyola Beach
10 Silas Mercer

We had a great time exploring the beach, admiring the small shells, smooth lake glass, and friendly ring-billed gulls. The waves were a highlight, and the skyline view was also enjoyable.
