Where is my beach pass?

After you purchase a pass online, you will not receive a physical pass in the mail. If this is your first time purchasing a Glencoe Beach Pass, you can pick up your physical pass when you visit the beach.


If you’ve purchased a pass for the Glencoe Beach past, you will not receive a new physical pass. Once you’ve purchased your season pass, you can use the same physical pass every year to check in at the Beach.

If you forget your pass, a beach attendant can look up your account at the entrance.


Family information is stored on one account. When you get your season pass, you will get three cards: one credit card size and two key-chain size passes. All three cards are linked to the same barcode, but provided as an extra option to carry and distribute amongst your household.
