Pack your towel, sunscreen and relax on Chicago's only North facing beach. Just a super short walk from Navy Pier :)
There's a nice park next to it where you can ride bike or hang out. Very close to the pier
More relaxed than North Street and right next to Navy Pier
Great place to eat your picnic lunch instead of buying the gross and/or expensive food at Navy Pier.
one of the most beautiful places in navy pier, i hear that weddings have been booked there is that true?
It's an amazingly beautiful and calm spot on the always hectic Navy Pier...
Our concierge Samantha recommends checking out the Navy Pier’s fireworks display from here at DuSable Harbor to avoid the major crowds.
Beautiful place to sit and look at the boats, Lake Michigan and enjoy the view of Navy Pier.
This harbor offers a nice view of Navy Pier and the walkway leads to the Riverwalk. You can go up and down the dock for a look, but much is fenced off.
Grab a beer from further down the pier near the entrance and save up to $3
At the edge of Navy Pier a great place for draft beer amidst water and flowers.
Off to south of navy pier go to pier and you've gone too far. Exciting and scenic
Shoreline tour docks on the pier while the river tour is on the South slip.
At the Ogden slip. Not directly on navy pier!
Decent deep-dish arrived at Navy Pier when Giordano's opened a full-service restaurant (plus a grab-and-go, personal-pizza kiosk) on Navy Pier. Read more.
Always the Chicago Classic Deep Dish stuffed pizza!!!!! The best pizza in Chicago hands down. This location is conveniently located at Navy Pier streetsville.
Extremely long wait at this location. Definitely order first then go walk around the pier.
Walk from Museum campus to Navy Pier.
lovely walk to the pier and back. good picnic area adjacent to beach.
There's a long pier that stretches well into the lake, near Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary --- bike along the shore and you'll see it.
Located at the Navy Pier, the Chicago Children’s Museum is free the first Sunday of every month.
The whole museum, but I loved the tree house zone and the fireman exhibithion
Best Theater besides Navy Pier IMAX.
Decent parking around the theater. Unlike AMC on Michigan Ave. they have stadium seating. Great location near Navy Pier. Also a great place for "screen jumpers".
great movies to see after going to navy pier
I love Navy Pier. Great location on the water. Besides all the Food and Beverage offerings, Children's Museum and more...you all can enjoy the Wheel! 360 degree views inside a gondola all year round!
Quite place with the best view of Chicago city.
Amazing view for lakeside
Walk this bridge on the way to Navy Pier.
Gives a good view over Navy Pier.
In 2004 a man was found using the bridge as his home. He built a shelter between the beams and tapped into power for heat, TV, & microwave.
Plan for parking ahead of time because there's no discounts here or Navy Pier. Street is best.
Come on Wednesday or Saturday nights to watch the fireworks literally come at you from Navy Pier
Local tip: go on Saturday night when they do fireworks over Navy Pier, you'll never view them the same again. Read more.
View of Navy Pier from the 30th floor suite at the W Lakeshore!

Location is close to Navy Pier, Oak Street Beach, North Avenue Beach and many other attractions
From Dec - Mar parking is $10 on the Pier when you park after 5 pm
One of the most gorgeous spaces in town!
