Located at 2311 Campus Drive, it's a popular spot for students and visitors to swim, sunbathe, or simply relax by Lake Michigan. The beach is part of the university's facilities and is managed by Northwestern University Recreation. Access and swimming conditions are regulated by a flag system (green, yellow, red), depending on water quality and weather conditions.

Hubbard Woods Park is a nice, small green space along the Green Bay Trail. It is a good place to stop for a quick break on a bench in the park.

This is a wonderful beach at Wilmette. You can spot migratory birds as they fly over Lake Michigan. It's a very diverse area for nature – sandy shore, dunes, parkland and native plantings. There's also a beach house and dog beach.
