Glencoe Beach

smaller beach but my kids love it! they have a playground they can play at. water sprayers to run around in. eating areas and pergolas off to the side. it is always pretty clean and well kept. the season pass is a reasonable price too. all around one of our favorite local beaches!

A great place to see the sunrise! Parking was nearby the beach was very accessible from there. It is not as wide as expected—boats/kayaks take up the left third and a playground is on the right third, but it is a nice location with wooden tables along the back if needed. Tip: If you do go for the sunrise, make sure the check the weather first! We went on a day when it was supposed to rain, so the sun was barely visible, the water was rough, and it was very windy.

A nice, clean beach with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. The kids can have loads of fun at the sprayground. The ramp & the steps that leads to the beach adds to the beauty of it. If you stand at the end of scenic pier, you can experience the waves splashing on your feet and it was so much fun for the little one! The only downside is non-residents have to pay $20, but given the times, maybe the residents feel the need to be safe from a crowded beach which is understandable.

I love this beach! Always love coming here to get the European feel. There is a sandy open beach, life guard on site. Visit is membership based, ample parking on both sides of the beach, parking is free, admission to beach is not free, however if you come early in morning or late in evening its free. There is a boardwalk that is closed and is under construction. tons of stuff for kids, beach games, kayak and boat rentals and personal spaces for bbq. All in all great experience
