Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan shoreline from North Avenue Beach.

The Chicago skyline extends along Lake Michigan from North Avenue Beach on the city’s North Side. The John Hancock Center, now 875 North Michigan Avenue, stands among the high-rises of the Gold Coast and Streeterville. Chicago’s lakefront park and beach system maintains public access along much of the city’s eastern edge.
