I believe most beaches are closed to the public after dark - and the police do perform night time patrols.

^ Correct. I have been at one beach at 11pm once when a cop told me to get out, for example. I'm sure though if you came at say 1am, it would be "better" if you wanted to sleep overnight, but if they found you in the morning ...they'd probably charge you with tresspassing or something.

So where can you sleep as a homeless person in Chicago if you can't go to shelters?

An alley or under a viaduct.

If this is not a hypothetical I am guessing you have a drug problem.

I sincerely hope you check yourself into rehab, and fast.

This place isn't all peaches and cream.

Not legal and probably not particularly safe either.

You have obviously never talked to anyone who works at a public library.
