What we say

Chicago winters may be cold, but summer weekends at Hollywood Beach are hot

Hollywood Beach (the new name is actually Kathy Osterman Beach) is a popular beach for all Chicagoans, but the gays and their friends hang out on the south side of the beach (the right side). Most popular on Sundays during the summer, but you are always bound to find people here when the weather is warm.

Summer in Chicago!

This beach is probably one of the cleanest beaches in Chicago. I hardly see garbage and everyone is pretty much friendly. Some regulars and some creepy people. Too bad our summers are only 2 months longs :-(

Been going to this beach regularly for 3 years. Very friendly crowd and lots of eye candy ! Sometimes there is some mild action, (touching, fondeling, kissing, sucking) but always in good taste. There are some regular families and straight copules there too, but the majority are gays. The bathhouse (bathroom) near the beach can get a little slutty at times.
