Non-resident fees at Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff to jump

Nonresident daily fees for Lake Bluff Sunrise Beach will increase substantially beginning July 1.

Sunrise Beach last year made the “Top 100 Secret Beaches in America” list but the secret is out.

According to the Lake Bluff Park District, the beach is on track to see the same number of nonresident visitors by the end of June as all of 2023.

The increases are the first since 2019 and were approved to offset costs and maintain the same level of service for residents and nonresidents. The increases will put Lake Bluff more in line with neighboring communities, district officials say.

The fees will increase from $10 to $20 for kids up to 14; from $15 to $25 for adults 15 to 64; from $12 to $20 for adults 65 and over, and from $12 to $15 for active military and veterans.
