Greenwood Street Beach is typically open from late May through mid August and offers accessible swimming for those with disabilities. This boulder-backed strip of sand along the Lake Michigan shore does require either a pass (free to Evanston residents residing in certain nearby zip codes) or a daily fee.

Clark Street Beach

Highlight • Beach

Clark Street Beach is one of Evanston's most popular beaches, located just east of downtown and near the campus of Northwestern University. The beach is wide, clean, and has clear water, making it ideal for swimming and relaxing.
The beach was formed by natural sand transports from the Wisconsin coast along Lake Michigan. Thousands of years of wave action have gradually brought the sand here together.
