Greenwood Street Beach is typically open from late May through mid August and offers accessible swimming for those with disabilities. This boulder-backed strip of sand along the Lake Michigan shore does require either a pass (free to Evanston residents residing in certain nearby zip codes) or a daily fee.

Baha'i House of Worship, Wilmette

Highlight • Religious Site

Baha'i is an independent world religion practiced by over 5 million people of almost every nationality worldwide. There is only one Bahai temple on each continent. There are around 155 thousand Baha'is in the USA. This temple was completed in 1953 after 30 years of construction. The delicate construction is very fascinating. A visit from the inside is also possible.
