Editorial Review for Montrose Beach – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
The beach stretches from Montrose to Wilson avenues off Lake Shore Drive. On sand, there's beach volleyball; on land, there are soccer fields, tennis courts and baseball diamonds. You're likely to see groups of Eastern European men engaged in animated discussion, Middle Eastern women in veils chasing after children and Latino families grilling delectable-smelling foods. And there's plenty of room left for babes in bikinis and studs in Speedos from all parts of the globe.

this beach is ok to go to empty handed. I had my stuff stolen from me in a couple of sec. i just turned went to toss something in the garbage, and someone stole bookbag with my ipod, cell phone, keys, money, kids clothing, my clothing and my shoes! i dont understand why people do this... the staff was not helpful at all! they would not even give me 2 bucks to catch the bus. i was left with nothing but a bathing suit and my kids as well. the staff's attitude was too bad so sad... it happends.... f*** that beach! go to the one off loyola.
