At one time, Lake Bluff’s Sunrise Beach Park was highly erosional. Using coastal engineering and native vegetation, Shabica & Associates designed a low-impact shore protection system that included quarrystone breakwaters to form a bay beach. This restoration effectively returned the beach to the residents of Lake Bluff. In 2004, Sunrise Beach Park was named Top Restored Beach by the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association, and in 2013 was just awarded the Best Great Lakes Beach by ASBPA!
