Sunrise Park

Hidden gem. I was showing homes in the area and told my clients to visit their neighbourhood park. I know they will fall in love with Lake Bluff! Gorgeous views, public restrooms, picnic areas, and nice swings/playground set.
Be mindful not to park on the closest street near beach and take advantage and visit before they start charging $$ during season (unless you are resident of Lake Bluff). This park and area are simply perfection!

Cute, peaceful park along Lake Michigan. It has benches to sit on to see glimpses of the lake below. The park has mature trees and is across from big, beautiful homes. There's a pedestrian path to the beach below. The only negative is there's no parking, but it's worth the short walk from street parking in the neighborhood to Sunrise Park.

First time here was fantastic. Kimd and welcoming staff. People are friendly and smiling. Place was a breath of fresh air when you need it most. Water is freezing cold, but it feels great on a hot summer day. 10/10 experience. I'll pay to come back any time. $15/adult was worth the nice experience! I know some people might not agree but I'd happily come back for a nice beach spot away from the city.

This is such a hidden gem. You can get in for free at 6 AM and enjoy sunrise. The rocks add to the beach aesthetic and the water is so clear. The beach is large about that you have your own space. This is the best beach in the north shore. It’s also by downtown lake bluff.

Absolutely love the beach here. Calm, beautiful, and scenic. Easy enough to park and walk down to. Lots of stairs, so be aware

Stunning. Love the area. Sail Boat launch clean, friendly, has picnic area swim area perfect for small family picnic not good for a large gathering, party.

Beautiful, clean park and beach area (with fee admission) tucked away next to a quiet neighborhood.

Wonderful & unique experience at the beach. Park is well maintained & clean. A worthwhile visit with family and pets.

Beautiful views! Love the Unleash The Dogs projects that can be seen while walking by the bluffs. Just gorgeous place to see. Minimal parking, which means less of a crowd, just be sure to plan ahead so you can find a spot on a side street and walk a little ways, like a block so not too far from the outlooks which are free and many benches to sit and watch the water by. Great idea to bring a book, there is a little library not too far walking distance if you forget a book just a street or so over towards the end of the park. 📚🚮🚸

💸💰The beach to get down to the water though is a pay to enjoy, pays for upkeep so worth the donation. $10 youth, $15 Adult $20 Family? There is a local rate and a discounted daily/monthly membership. Might be more information on their website?💡

Mojo & Moxie give it four paws up and two wagging tails for the trail. 🌊🐾🏖🐾⛵🐾🧘🏼‍♀🐾🏊🏻‍♀

Beautiful place! Peaceful and relaxing. The water is a beautiful light blue. You can take good shots even in winter. It is a rocky sand beach. It has shelters to have picnics.

Beautiful park and beach, even a dog beach. Lake Bluff residents pay for annual beach access. For non-residents there is a charge and I've heard it's steep (possibly $20/day).

My girlfriend and I go here regularly. Great place to jump in or just wade at your knees. Great place for a picnic. Bathtoom facilities can be a bit dank but hey it’s a beach area and totally serves its purpose.

Great place neat and the water is so clean. Along with aqua there is forest which has variety of birds and insects.

As someone who has been to a lot of places, Lake Bluff was a refreshment.

cleanest beach ever, well maintained, always wanted to be there

A nice place to see the beauty of Lake Michigan! We took our newly graduated Navy sailor there after lunch! Such a beautiful place.

Nice serene feeling...💗💙🤎

Plenty of space for swimmers, with several covered picnic table area, public rest rooms. Updated in 2015 with new steps and handrails down to date he beach.

Really nice walk, but it's better left to the people that live there. Better walk, and less intrusive to residents, is the Fort Sheridan Preserve. Nice beach, interesting history placards, many different lengths of walks. Loved It! They have signs: beware of the unexploded ordnance in the waters. Dang!

This park and beach is beautiful, very well maintained. Biking back up the hill is a challenge!
