This small beach is exclusive to residents of the Park District. I witnessed a wedding taking place on the beach earlier this week.

It's a beautiful beach where I've spent a few summers. It's clean and peaceful.

2 Very poor

Today was not a pleasant experience. The beach was littered with garbage, there were too many cars parked on the road, and there were rude people around. To top it off, kids threw a ball at my car and hit the back window. It was a terrible experience at my local beach, which was overcrowded and dirty. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.
