The 9 Best Beaches in Toronto, Canada
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Oh...the sun...the vista...the elegant company. It's a miracle...a new Beach for Toronto and a new high for Bloordale. To see it is to love it and to love it is to plug it. See our hidden gem, tucked away just south of Bloor St , a touch west of the classiest mall in the 416. Head to the food court first to pick up some quality picnic fare, then head west to the Beach and dine al fresco. The West is the Best. Toronto West.

Marie Curtis Park Beach is located on the east bank of the Etobicoke Creek. It was a lovely unexpected find. Marie Curtis Park Beach is exactly what a local park and beach should be - fun for walking, hiking, biking, relaxing on the beach, fishing and great photo opps as well. From Toronto it can be reached by the Queen streetcar line. You can explore some nature trails and wooded paths with lovely bridges that cross it. It is a everyday place for the people who live nearby, it's relaxing just to sit there and watch the world go by. That is what makes Marie Curtis Park Beach so special.

This is a nice beach with a long boardwalk/bike/walking path. It has plenty of sand area, an adjacent beach house / town area, and picturesque views of the lake. Though I walked this during the winter, I can tell it would be a great summer spot. There are also some food places very close to the beach area for people who want to get a snack and bring it back to the blanket. And an ice cream place at one spot....awesome !

Known as "The Beach" or "The Beaches," this eastern side of Toronto is a popular tourist spot as it offers a completely different flavor than downtown brings. There are plenty of historic buildings and independent specialty shops, but the main selling point is several kilometers of boardwalk surrounded by a sandy beach.

Fantastic place to walk with a view of the skyline. A family friendly place for a stroll with a view. Not far from coffee and shops for a bite to eat.

Once the ferry arrived, I made my way to the beach. It wasn’t too long of a hike. Since the weather was nice, plenty of people had flocked to Hanlon Point. When you’re walking down the foot path, you’ll notice signs indication that it’s a clothing optional beach. To left is where sunbathers choose to go topless or nude. To the right is the traditional swimsuit side. During this particular visit, I choose to do the clothing optional side. For me, it was sort of a when in Rome kind of thing. The beach itself was very nice and kept up. Walking around the island is very relaxing and much slower paced compared to the hustle of Toronto. You could easily spend all day here
