Kathy Osterman Beach — Attraction in Lake View Township

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...

It's closed for now but I love it here,as soon as your there because of the beachy vibes you might forget your in Chicago,Sheridan is right behind it but you can't see it,and that is enough to transport me to the Greek islands (after I put my sunscreen on half an hour B4 u leave the house that's when it protects best) and I start sunbathing the smell of tropical coconuts or Coppertone sunscreen makes me feel like I'm on a small island of Crete called Christy or Chrissy beach 🏖️ it's paradise on earth 🌎 it's been years since I've been there,Google it you would be amazed by this place it has a sing that says when you leave this place leave only your footprints behind.❤️💯🆒 it's a very chill place cool people,the cafe lakebreeze is awesome I like that it's not as crazy as Montrose beatch, I love living so...

Google asking me to review this beach 7 months since the last time I was there. Like i havent been living the Chicago winter life since. I vaguely remember being happy... as I didnt realize this place was called kathy it really was hard for me to remember the before times. I looked at some beach pictures and did realize I knew this place.

I dont know who this osterman lady is but I'm hip deep in a review so I cant Google who kathy osterman is.

I hope she liked beaches and relaxing because this is what this place reminds me of( oh God, I want summer to be here.). If she was some kind of jerk than I think she would spin super hard in her grave....

I'm gonna go look up...
