Lake Bluff Sunrise Beach

Perched on the Lake Michigan shore near Lake Bluff sits this small, residential beach. Although it is free for people who live in the neighborhood, visitors can also spend the day relaxing in the sun for a fee. It is a bit pricier than other beaches in the area, but you will get to use the grills, firepits, lounging chairs, and beach games for free. Not to mention, there are always lifeguards on duty. The beach is only open to non-residents for a few hours each day, and only during the summer season. Swimming or visiting the beach at any other time is strictly prohibited.
