Пляж Hollywood

This beach is known as the “Hollywood Beach” aka the gay beach. It’s a fun even as a straight woman. A place to bring your friends and have fun with strangers. The energy is high and nice people. NO KIDS!!!!

Love this beach such a fun vibe with great edm music

Very nice place, good for families.

Once the lifeguards leave. Dogs on the beach.

I have been walking my dog here for 10 YEARS. This week, was on sand and we walked over towards a path going up to the park. About 20 feet up the path, 1 man was down on his knees, and another standing right in front of him with his pants pulled down. There were 3 other naked men standing within a few feet of these 2 , either watching the action, or joining in. This was on a wednesday, at 10 AM daylight. I was so shocked and disgusted by this. What the heck is wrong with people ? I will never go back there. What a disappointment.

Cruisy beach lol

Kathy Osterman Beach is truly a hidden gem along the Chicago lakefront. Compared to some of the larger, busier beaches in the city, this one feels more relaxed and family-friendly. The sand is soft and well-kept, and the water is usually clean and clear, making it perfect for swimming or simply lounging on a summer day. What I really enjoyed was the peaceful atmosphere — it’s less crowded than North Avenue or Oak Street Beach, which makes it ideal if you want to enjoy the lake without too much noise or chaos. The area also has walking and biking paths nearby, so it’s easy to combine a beach day with a scenic stroll or ride along the lakefront. The facilities are convenient too, with lifeguards on duty, restrooms, and snack stands during the season. It’s also accessible by public transportation, which is a big plus. Overall, Kathy Osterman Beach is a great spot if you’re looking for a clean, relaxing, and welcoming beach in Chicago.
