Osterman is my favorite beach in the city. Its a bit of a trek up there, but its wroth it. While some of the more centralized beaches can get a bit rowdy and packed, Osterman is super relaxed.

Why have I not been here before?! I've been going weekend after weekend to crowded, unfriendly beaches that are packed with a strange police presence. You won't find that here. There's plenty of room to spread out, great people and a surprisingly good little beach cafe for snacks that are even vegetarian-friendly. This is my new favorite beach.

I'm pretty sure that this is the top gay beach in Chicago, but it's certainly inclusive to all who want to enjoy some fun in the sun. Definitely a lot of men in speedos...plus a bar! It serves pina coladas, so yeah. I dig the party vibe here. I'll be back this summer!
