This 60-acre beach in south Chicago is more than just a wide stretch of sand with picture-perfect views of the city. It also happens to be a 10-acre nature habitat for birds and a meeting place for sports and athletic activities. There is an on-site gym, fitness center, and handball courts in case you wanted to burn a few extra calories before hitting the shore.
