Blue Island, migliori spiagge

We had a great time swimming in the evening at this beach while admiring the buildings, boats, and sunset. The shoreline is a bit rocky, and the water is not as clear as Foster Ave Beach, but I appreciate its proximity to the Magnificent Mile and the fact that it's just a short walk from our hotel. It's also not too crowded, and there are public restrooms nearby, although we didn't need to use them. Overall, we had a lovely time and plan to come back.

A serene and picturesque beach nestled in a semi-private area of northwest Indiana, offering a refreshing escape from the bustling and noisy city beaches typical of Chicago and even Indiana Dunes. Its tranquil location makes it incredibly relaxing. There is ample parking available; you pay at the card machines and place your paper receipt on your dashboard to inform security that you've paid. The parking rates are reasonable, averaging $12.50 for two hours. You can extend your time in half-hour or hour increments until 6pm, which is when the beach closes. Security personnel inform everyone of the 6pm closing time. Large trash cans are available on the beach, but be cautious of bees that tend to swarm around them. Outdoor showers are conveniently located near the parking lot for rinsing off sand, and there are large port-o-potties near the showers as well. Note that there is no lifeguard on duty, so swimming is at your own risk. The water depth reaches up to 5'6", which is quite comfortable. The charming town of Whiting is easy and interesting to navigate through on the way to the beach, giving the impression of being in another state. However, be aware that you might be delayed by freight trains, Amtrak, etc., for up to 30+ minutes just before the beach entrance, as happened to me. Initially, everyone seemed impatient, but when the gates finally lifted, cheers erupted from multiple cars.

Una delle mie posizioni preferite. Puoi assaporare la vista dei grattacieli urbani. Puoi grigliare là fuori.

I panorami in spiaggia erano incredibilmente tranquilli e la mia famiglia si è divertita molto a godersi la tranquillità.

Hai la possibilità di parcheggiare a partire da $ 2 per 1 ora. Sebbene il mio scopo di visitare fosse quello di vedere la sirena segreta, sono stato preso alla sprovvista dall'abbondanza di rifiuti, plastica e vetro sparsi attraverso la spiaggia. Nonostante la presenza di bidoni della spazzatura e bidoni del riciclaggio ogni 50 piedi, la spiaggia era ancora coperta di immondizia. Ho tentato di ripulire la cucciolata per impedire che entrasse nel lago Michigan, ma sono stato rapidamente sopraffatto dal puro volume di spazzatura. Testimone dell'entità dell'inquinamento sulla spiaggia mi ha portato le lacrime agli occhi, poiché ha messo in evidenza le conseguenze che gli animali sopportano a causa dei nostri fallimenti collettivi. Su una nota positiva, la sirena era abbastanza come avevo previsto. Sono sollevato dal fatto che non sia stata vandalizzata. Grazie per aver dedicato del tempo a leggere la mia recensione!
