12th Street Beach on the eastern edge of Northerly Island is an amazing place to walk and explore.
Considered as one of the most well-hidden beaches in Chicago, 12th Street Beach is a brilliant spot for distance swimming.
This picturesque beach is a small dune habitat that’s also home to forbs and dune grasses, along with being an important habitat for shorebird species, nesting, and migrating. And just south of the beach, Adler Planetarium is located where visitors can enjoy a range of summer events. Because of the calm waters, paddle boarding and canoeing are some of the best activities to do out here.
