Vacation spot! Authentic Jamaican cuisine. Outdoor space, great indoor bar and additional seating. Definitely gives off an island vibe! The food is exceptional - all made in house. We love the Jerk Tacos and Reggae Wings!

Must-visit! It's crowded on the weekends, but worth the outdoor, beach-bar experience. Owned by a local family, the vibe is chill, food is good and sometimes they offer live music. Nice spot to dine outside and watch boats come in and out of the river.

Best views of the Lake! Rooftop dining and sightseeing. Looks out over the public beach and lighthouse. Parking for this area requires a fee - but for epic sunsets, it's worth it! Often times the Chicago skyline is easy to see!

Sightseeing

Our little local zoo is a gem! Views of the lake get better as you walk up the pathways through the zoo - the tower is a hike, but if you make it to the top, you won't be disappointed!

Parks & Nature

Along the lake are our iconic sand dunes. There are hiking trails through most of them and small picnic areas all along the lakefront. Many different entrances along US HWY 12.
