Gay beaches in chicago
Hollywood Beach(also called Kathy Osterman Beach) is an integral part of Chicagos extensive lakeside area. Nestled in the Edgewater neighborhood this beach pays tribute to Kathy Osterman, a leader and supporter of the lgbtq+Q+ community highlighting its reputation as an lgbtq+Q+ friendly spot.
Over time Hollywood Beach has become a sanctuary for the lgbtq+Q+ community. It's a place where individuals can unwind express themselves freely and revel in the beauty of Lake Michigans coastline. The beach and its surrounding vicinity exude an inviting atmosphere that appeals to both locals and visitors, from backgrounds.
Located at the tip of Lake Shore Drive
Chicago does not come to mind as an immediate gay destination, but that it’s a big shame, because this is a metropolis that will appeal to everyone.
The city has a skyline to rival Manhattan, art in museums and public squares, jazz, pop and dance melody aplenty and a superlative theatre tradition. It also has a nightlife to rival New York, the dynamism of LA and a gay past to match San Francisco’s.
Friendly male lover scene
The scene is devoid of snobbishness and it’s less ring-fenced between various gay tribes than elsewhere. Here, bears, twinks, grizzlies and musclemen will all make you feel at home, whatever your preferences and predilections.
Beach Destination? Yes
To cap it all, with a total of 36 kms of lakeside beaches and summer temperatures equivalent to those in the Mediterranean, Chicago can rightly lay claim to creature a major beach destination waiting to be discovered.

We were told last year, the recent building would include new toilets. A concession stand. And a lockerroom and showere area for the lifeguards.
Foster Beach and Montrose Beach got nice makeovers over the last couple years. It is unclear yet, how the Osterman venture will compare. This image was online at PBC Chicago. They are calling it a comfort station. You will notic
Chicago: so nice, you’ll think it’s hitting on you
For a lgbtq+ ol’ time, follow the rainbow to the Midwest. In this part of the country, Chicago is “the city,” but one that largely puts aside those big-city rules. In dating terms, Chi-Town doesn’t wait two days to call you back after a date. Friendly and inviting, it’s the city that forgot that big cities are supposed to have an attitude.
Architecture aficionados and novices keep their eyes facing upwards to take in the grandeur. For closer-to-the-ground pleasurable, do your duty as a tourist and head to Millennium Park. Get out your camera because you’re about to gather “The Bean” (which sounds appreciate a horrible come on).
