In the late '50's or early '60's we lived in Oak Park [[hence my screen name). My mom took me a few times to a place called Sandy Beach, which had a sand beach and an artificial pool that at the age of 6 or 7 looked just like the ocean. I remember that there was a drop of about 2-3 feet from the beach level to the bottom of the water, not a gradual descent like at a real beach. I also remember there being a gift shop of some sort at the front.
Does anyone have any idea where Sandy Beach was and if it's still there?
