Olson Beach in Caledonia, Illinois, offers a peaceful retreat with its modest size and fine golden sand, ideal for visitors seeking relaxation away from crowded destinations[1][3]. While it lacks amenities like restrooms and disabled access, its serene environment attracts those who enjoy sunbathing, picnicking, and leisurely shoreline walks[1]. Note that the similarly named Olson Lake Beach, part of Rock Cut State Park, is distinct and located north of Caledonia, featuring swimming, kayaking, and paid entry[2][4].
