Montrose Beach - Chicago, IL

What I love about Illinois is that they have accessible beaches. Well, they're not surrounded by seas like us in the Philippines but they do have a lake. Lake Michigan

I've been to three beaches so far. Not really sure if these were man-made. But I was able to take good pictures of one - Montrose Beach. It's a family beach so you won't see Baywatch babes or killer abs.

First thing I did? Taste the water! Nope. Not salty at all!
