Often referred to 31st Street Beach, Margaret T. Burroughs Beach offers visitors incredible views of the Chicago skyline from the south. Beach goers can find concessions and restrooms at the beach house. Burroughs Beach sits next 31st Street Harbor, a new facility that offers 1,000 floating slips for 35-70-foot-long boats and space for boats up to 200 feet. Adjacent to the harbor, patrons can find an ADA-accessible playground, along with a “green roof” picnic area above an indoor parking garage that also functions as a winter boat storage area. A public fishing dock, community room, harbor store and offices are all available at this location.

Our beautiful local beach is newly renovated, very clean and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in the summer- or a great place to take a walk when it's cold out! Awesome view of the city skyline.

Has a cafe where you can catch live music, grab some eats, and relax under the sun.
