Obviously there are innumerable locations in Illinois (on the 'West Shore' of Lake Michigan) where one could access the lake for possible surfing action. What follows are just a few known, popular spots.

Do you know of a location where the surfing action is just 'too sweet' (when the wind and waves are right)?
Please feel free to "Add a Comment" or "Report" detailing any additional 'hot spots' you are aware of on 'the big pond'.

Just to have some consistent means of logical order, locations are being listed from South to North, from the Illinois/Indiana border to Winthrop Harbor. (Listed 'distance' is derived from Google driving directions, using a starting point of the Illinois/Indiana state line and ending as close as possible via road access to each beach.)
