| Lakefront in Beverly Shores. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, authorized by Congress in 1966, purchased approximately 700 homes, many of them in Beverly Shores. They purchased all the homes on the five mile stretch of beach in Beverly Shores, including the old Red Lantern Restaurant. Today the Beverly Shores beach is owned and maintained by the park service. The site of the Red Lantern Restaurant is now the Lakeview pavilion and all the homes on the south side of Lakefront Drive are now considered 'lakefront' properties. | ||
