    Nice walk today on the west shore beach and out to the end of the breakwall. Just a few people out getting some exercise or walking their dogs. Nice area for a quiet walk. However, a note on the noise. There were hundreds of geese, ducks and swans on the edge of the open water and they were making a lot of noise. We didn't mind, but they were loud. Also saw either a mink or a weasel on the breakwall. Interesting to watch from a distance, didn't want to get too close to upset it. Lots of free parking. There is a roadway but it is not cleared for wheelchairs etc. Fine in the summer. No lighting at night.

    There are two parking lots located on the west end and east end. They take you to two different light houses. On the west end there is a beach along the shore and you can buy lobster rolls from lobster Barron. On the east end you can try some food from food truck, ice cream shops, and African restaurants. Overall it is a very peaceful place. Highly recommend it.

    A nice place to stroll and get your steps in. If the city beaches or lakeshores are crowded come here on weekdays or weekends. There is some fishing action as well, has nice restaurants in the area. Do check it out. Update: Parking now is paid parking

    This is a nice area where there's shops and cafe along with a beach and a trail to walk on. Great for kids since there's a little water park and a playground. The water is nice and cool to swim in during the summer time. In the summer it gets super busy. Great place to check out in the summer time for sure. The place is also nice and clean.

    A lakeshore with lighthouse landscape over the wavy beach rhythms around you. Have to come back to explore the tranquility of the open ended Mother Nature around you!

    A quiet morning with a light breeze. I got the kids out to spend time with each other away from screens. Frenchman’s Bay was peaceful and the kids played by the waters throwing rocks and collecting them. One of my favourite places in the spring and summer time to spend time with the family; walking, listening to the waves and watching families interacting.

    Frenchman's Bay truly captures a European essence by the water. The charming boardwalk and scenic views create an atmosphere reminiscent of coastal towns across the Atlantic. This waterfront park offers a delightful blend of natural beauty and cultural charm. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a day of relaxation. Frenchman's Bay stands out as one of the best waterfront areas in the Greater Toronto Area, making it a must-visit for those seeking a unique and picturesque experience. 🌊🏞️🏰

    Me and my buddy’s came at the wrong time to fish πŸ˜… But best time to catch fish is around 5-8AM to around 6-8PM If fishing is not your thing you could swim in the beach!

    One of the best beaches in the GTA. The bed mostly has rocks that makes the recipe for a clean, clear water. There is shower to clean up before getting in the car. The parking is limited, so expect a wait or a walk. The only minus is the washrooms are messy.

    Liverpool Rd at Frenchman's Bay has a seaside beach town feel. Nice place to see sunset or feel the breeze off. Good restaurant on the bay.
