Kenilworth Beach is a scenic spot located approximately 17 miles north of downtown Chicago, offering a tranquil retreat for those seeking relaxation by Lake Michigan. It is the newest among the eight Chicago suburban communities along Lake Michigan. The beach is currently closed for the season but is expected to reopen on May 24, 2025, with ongoing construction aimed at enhancing its facilities.
The beach features a picturesque setting with shoreline protection structures, including steel sheet pile groins. It offers a serene environment for family outings, although it's nestled within a residential area, which can lead to limited parking options.
Kenilworth Beach has rules in place to ensure visitor safety and comfort, including restricted access to the jetty and designated swimming areas monitored by lifeguards.
