Lee Street Beach, Sand beach at Lake Michigan in Evanston, United States.
Lee Street Beach extends along Lake Michigan with a wide sandy shoreline suitable for swimming, sunbathing, and recreational water activities.
The beach emerged during Evanston's late 19th century development, when natural Lake Michigan shorelines transformed into designated public recreational spaces.
During summer months, the beach hosts community events, photography exhibitions, and fitness programs that bring local residents together.
The beach provides modern facilities including restrooms, showers, lifeguard stations, designated swimming areas, and convenient parking spaces nearby.
From the shore, visitors can view the Chicago skyline across Lake Michigan, particularly noticeable during sunrise and clear weather conditions.
