63rd Street Beach is a family-friendly beach within Chicago's Jackson Park, located at the terminus of E. Hayes Drive at the Lake Michigan shoreline. The beach was originally developed as part of Olmsted and Vaux's 1888 renovations to the park and became a popular public swimming beach following the completion of the city's 1899 Drainage Canal.
Its historic 1919 Classical Revival-style bath house, fully renovated in 2000, is available for use by beachgoers, boaters, and day campers, featuring prime lake view balconies, open-air galleries, and an interactive water feature. There are showers and restrooms available for visitor use.
