Perfect beach to just relax. Lots of families. Nice and quite.nParking has been good, it's 6 bucks for parking. Walk to beach is less then 2 blocks. There are stairs going down to beach, if thats a consideration. Restrooms at parking area and by the beach. Bring drinks and food cause i didn't see any fot sale. I saw dogs so i think is doggie friendly.
Beautiful national park. We took the dune succession trail to get to the beach which was a treat. I’m used to dunes at the jersey shore that only have grasses. Very cool to see a forest on the dunes. The water was warm, and the waves impressive for a lake! Also very cool to see Chicago in the distance. Highly recommend.
I love West Beach for the trails. I enjoy not seeing people on the trails, I run them every morning. They have remarked the trails, maybe more people will use them. Whomever designed the bathhouse did a phenomenal job
Bathrooms were clean, beachfront was well taken care of. A little crowded but it was a holiday weekend. Can't wait to go back to go hiking.
I am used to smelly, icy water that has dead fish on the beach in Chicago. Here it was very clear, warmer, and no smell. Sand was soft and fluffy. Nice sand bars part way out. Very clean and enjoyable!
