Chicago: Oak Street Beach
Opened in 1890, this clean white-sand beach stretches like a carpet beneath Magnificent Mile skyscrapers. Palm trees dot the sand, and a swath of pebbles lines the Lake Michigan shore. Visitors get there by strolling through an underpass (where you'll walk past guys playing the violin for cash). Then, enjoy the variety of languages and cultures of your fellow swimmers.
