¬ THE BEACH

About two miles up the shoreline from Navy Pier is a large beach called North Avenue Beach. Despite the fact that it's a beach, it's tricky to have a nice day over here - normally you're just trying to stop yourself from freezing into a block of ice. Those lake winds are cold. The beach is covered in pale, almost white, sand with frothy blueish waves lapping at it's edges all day. This beach is usually dotted with beach goers relaxing on their thick towels beneath oversize umbrellas that cast long shadows over the whole place. All in all, it's not that bad of a beach if you can get past the biting wind.
