Parked at the Paradise Beach Park and went east, along the William Parish Trail to the Lakeside Waterfront Park. Took the shore line to east further and all the way back. It was about 7km. It was a weekend, there were quite some bikers along the way. Not much shade, cooler with lake breeze near the water. Best of all, no mosquitos.

I have been to the beach for the first time in Canada with my family. It was good to hear the sound of the waves. It was a good view of sunset. I saw lots of people enjoying in the seashore. Residents don't need to pay for the parking, but non-residents do need to pay. I enjoyed there and thank you:)

An idyllic beach with way too many rocks for my poor feet - can't get to the water without stepping on dozens of rocks. The beach was pretty quiet the last time I was there, perfect for those who prefer a bit of privacy. There is a playground with wood chip surface - great for absorbing impact should anyone fall while climbing at the park. The park was well maintained, and the surrounding area was clean.

Generally a nice location, especially with the combination of stone beach, tables with umbrellas, grass, pathways, washroom, and parking lot. Sadly, no booze, cooking, or fires, but at least it keeps the place a little cleaner. The beach is kind of stinky and not very nice. I would not want to swim in there. Algae and sea weedy. The grass is great and you just need a blanket and some shade, but still might be a bit stinky from the water in parts. The pathway is fantastic but watch out since the high bushes make it difficult to see or be seen by the faster wheeled users coming through. Great paved path though. There is a washroom here but it was dirty when we were there, even though it was supposed to be self cleaning. Pretty cool idea. Too bad that parking is $10 for 3 hours on the weekends and holidays during the summer, and you need a phone with data to pay. Watch out for the red winged blackbirds that will peck you in the head, particularly if you have light coloured hair! You'll hear them first though.

Hidden gem! About 20-25 mins drive from Scarborough. Walk way and bicycle lane present. Quiet and small beach with amazing view. You can enjoy a walk just besides beach. Ample place for sitting and hangouts. Amazing view ! I cannot give any less stars to this place. Full 5 stars !

Nice beach . Less crowded. It has parking and washroom facility. Perfect for jogging and biking in summer or fall. You will find very beautiful landscapes. Paradise Beach is located in the community of Ajax just off the shore of Lake Ontario. This beach was an important cottage destination for upper-class Torontonians in the 1920s. Some famous figures that lived in the community are T. P. Loblaw and artist Florence Helena McGillivray. Today the beach is a great place for swimming and fishing. There are volleyball courts, picnic areas, and a beautiful lakeside boardwalk for biking, running, and walking. Bird watching in the area is reputed to be fantastic, as are the neighbourhood restaurants.

A perfect place to bring someone you like but you didn't tell him/her yet.Just sitting there waiting for the sunset,he/she will understand what you trying to say without you saying anything.

Great place to walk around on a chilly or hot afternoon. Well-maintained and dosen't have much trash around. The beach is quiet and not too populated with people. There is a trail nearby so you can enjoy something else too.

Nice beach BUT the authorities were trying to give you a real headache. First we got two officer to threaten us with giving a ticket just because we had a small butane stove to have a tea , shortly after the parking authorities came to ni give hard time on parking. We went for a relaxing picnic but Ajax authorities tried making it impossible. NOT RECOMMENDED!!! Try to make life easier!!

Always a beautiful place to go visit for some peace and quiet. During the week it tends to be empty, just a couple more people, if any. There's parking (handicapped included) just across, and access to the waterfront trail as well.

Relaxing place to go, parking is ok and not too crowded.

Clean and Quiet place. You'll see people fishing nearby.

It's a nice place, very relaxing, not crowded, and you can take a pleasant sunbath. Bad parts, it's full of rocks and you can get fined easily, a family got fined because they were using a grill.

The areas surrounding the beach 🏖are great. Park for the kids, walking and jogging paths, paid parking area. But the beach per se is not great. As off September 2023 parking cost 💸 is $10 for 3 hours // and $20 whole day Be aware that you can't consume alcohol on the beach, nor do BBQ,🍖 or fire pits. There are by law officers walking around constantly 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

Worse beach ever! Like my experience was good at the actually beach because we were doing baptisms 🙏🏽 But y'all need to have parking meters so people know that we have to pay for parking! Signs are too small to notice that pay parking is required. Ending off a great experience with a parking violation wasn't fun! Do better!

Decent park/beach. Not recommended to get in The water as it's covered with green moss and lots of rocks. You must pay for parking on Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Besides that, it's nice to bring your family and dogs here.

Went for a late September swim. Free parking, public washrooms, lots of benches, and some picknicktables. Beach is nice, a mix of sand and pabbles, pabbles also go couple feet into water and then ground becomes sandy. There is also a kids playground next to the parking lot. Don't know about summertime, but today had no problem with finding parking spot, nor park and beach where crowded despite warm and sunny weather.

No free parking even I am a Durham resident. The beach is really dirty!

Have loved it for 25 years always makes my heart and soul at peace

Awesome beach had great fun

Such a beautiful beach to go to, water is much clear and surrounding is peaceful and quiet. Went during the Friday evening, beach was not crowded at all. Weekdays it tends to be empty. There's parking including handicapped for 10$ for 3 hours which little higher side, but it is ust across, and has access to the waterfront trail. Trails has multiple beaches. Great for birdwatching, noticed 4/5 kind of different birds.

Lovely little park with a beach, bike trails, walking trails, and parking. Never too crowded it is a quiet little spot.

Beautiful scenic place. Nice little beach right next to the parking lot, portable washroom and trail.

Beautiful beach to visit with family. Only problem is, its not sandy. Pebbles hurt too much. Otherwise very good place with ample parking slots available.

Beautiful clean beach. Like the sudden sunny day. But theres no place to eat any coffee or snacks.
