One of the best place to visit this summer with family and especially kids. Its a beautiful location for a summer day out. There couple of parking spots, the one nearest to beach is little busy always. Mon-fri 5pm-9m is 6$ and sat/sun/holidays 9am-7pm is 12$. There is a free Sunscreen lotion machine. Beach is pretty clean and you can find people of all ages kids to elderly available in the park. Kids playing in the beach along with their parents, lifeguard is available and you can swim at the designated area marked by officials. Many are just enjoying the sun , few of them doing BBQ cooking and enjoying lunch with their families. Area is clean. Washrooms are available and clean too. We really had an amazing day and would recommend families with kids to bring them here. Sufficient tables available for families to enjoy food. I was really happy here with my family

Beautiful park, nice vista of the Bluffers, clean beach. Good place for family, you can also bring your own BBQ. Free sunscreen. Washrooms are clean and there are changing dipper table. There are 3 large parking lots + one boat launch parking. but they will be full quickly( go early) 12$ for whole day parking fee in weekends. 6$ for whole day in week days. No reservation required.

From mid-April to mid-October, Bluffer's Park and Beach's east parking lot will be closed to new vehicle parking on weekends (Friday to Sunday) between 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The lot will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Originally owned by the Borough of Scarborough, the mainland at the base of the bluffs was transferred to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in May 1960 as part of the Waterfront Plan for Metro. The park was developed in two stages by the Authority. The first phase that satisfied a need for public open space, was officially completed and opened in 1975 at a cost of $2.2 million. Phase two, developed for $6.0 million and completed in the early 1980's, provided public launching facilities for recreational boaters and sailors, as well as open space for private yacht clubs. A total of 2.6 million cubic metres of lakefill was used at Bluffer's Park.

Went for a walk at Bluffers Park. Some areas were blocked off due to construction. Decent views of Lake Ontario and a pleasant easy walk around. Parking lot gets full quickly. Public bathroom is available l

It is the best beach in the Toronto area. I really enjoyed the ambience and the water was so clean as air. I will definitely recommend this park and beach for families and with your loved ones :)

This is a stunning park with nice multi-use paths, perfect for long walks or easy going bicycle rides to enjoy the nature around you. There is ample room for picnics with the family, although no campfires or alcohol are allowed. There is a bathroom facility in the park, as well as access to some beach areas of the lake. I'm not sure if swimming is permitted or not, but there were life-saving-buoys at certain areas. The water looked clear, and my cousins and I skipped stones at the beach openings. We didn't see any fish here, but there were a few people attempting to fish, and telling stories of big fish they caught in the area. We saw plenty of geese walking and swimming enjoying the day just as we were. We also saw a lone deer as we made our way closer to the bluffs. If you're looking for a great place to walk and enjoy nature, this will definitely be one my list. We visited during the weekday, so it was not too busy. It might be busier on the weekend, as it is a very beautiful area.

One of my favorite beach for summer in the city. Well maintained beach to visit, its a hidden gem in the city! Cleaned bathing station and washroom. You can also see geese walking and swimming. Ample amount of parking spot. Free parking 6AM-5PM and 9PM-11PM (Mon-Fri). Beach and the water is so clean and life guard is also there. Lovely place to enjoy the summer and the sun.

Amazing view with good crowd. Soothing to eyes. Had a great time here with friends and family. Loved how this is made and water’s so clear and clean. Boating experience was good so far too. But Its more of a one time go place or a place for people who want to have a relaxing day.

Such a Divine Place. To enjoy your weekend without spending much , don't think twice just come and relax. It's a wonderful place. I really had fun here. Best thing is , this location is less crowded and more to roam around. 😍💥

Amazing waterfront Beach area! It was recently renovated and so even though this was my first time there it was beautiful and obviously well maintained. There are picnic benches there and it is paved for biking and walking trails. There are also more rugged hiking trails where people were walking their dogs as well. The actual Beach area is relatively clean considering there was recent construction done. There was no garbage, just some leftover construction materials. Perfect place to hang out with family in the summertime and bring food or just go on a quick walk to enjoy the scenery. Me and my girlfriend went here on a Sunday afternoon and it was great. A couple of guys came out and played some live music by the water and we had an amazing time. Also there was a lot of free parking so driving there is not an issue.

I grew up in Scarborough, about a 20-minute drive from the Bluffs and it’s taken me until the age of 65 to visit. It’s absolutely spectacular. If I still lived in the area, I’d be walking through the park every day. Good, safe paths that lead to the stunning vista of the Bluffs, and the edge of the Lake. I went on a mild day in November and it was lovely and quiet but I can imagine that in the summer months, the park would be packed. Large parking lot and large washroom facility right near by.

A nice spot to go to anytime of year. Popular in the summer ofcourse with a long beach with blue flag designation but even in the winter, nice spot to walk the dog although dogs are not allowed on the beach. Would have been nice to have a dog beach area on the east end of the beach. Has public washrooms and also accessible by public transit using the 175 bluffers park bus from Kennedy station which goes all the way to the east end beach parking lot and does a loop back to Kennedy from there. Take advantage of the free parking and less crowds on weekdays before 5pm.

the beach itself was quite good, with some lifeguard monitoring the area. the washrooms however, are absolutely disgusting. two of them were filled with junk and toilet paper, and the entire place stank. quite a lot of pigeons as well. parking was free until 5pm when i visited on a weekday. the beach itself was very fun however! bring a volleyball

(Currently the beach is under construction, access to Beachpoint promenade is blocked off.) As of fall 2018, the area is open again, looking great, can't wait for spring!

Cool and refreshing park. One of the best free park that I have ever seen. Especially during cherry blossom season! People is packed during weekends so better go during weekdays to appreciate the nature and peacefulness of the place. It does not feel that it was situated inside a city. Great place for a long walk. you can spend the whole day here, a large area for walking with dogs, many birds are found right along the trails. You can find here cold climate during hot summer days. Highly recommend for families and friends. We will definitely go back!

Nice park to relax, bbq and walk around. Peaceful and clean! You can also go for pike fishing!

Beautiful sandy beach great for hike walks riding bycicle or walking pups. Great restaurant close by. Floating homes are very cool.

Nice trails to walk on beside the lake with plenty of picnic tables to use for a leisurely lunch in the shade. Bring your own food, then relax on the beach. The washrooms could use updating, and the parking lot gets very busy (paid parking). All in all, a good place to visit with the family.

Great place to relax and enjoy the beach. Best time to visit is during summer, especially if you want to go for a swim or have a picnic.

Absolutely gorgeous, any time of the year. The cliffs are beautiful and the beach is really nice for relaxing or swimming.

Absolutely amazing place to spend time with your family. We did right in front of the water. There are benches there as well. The walk along the water is beautiful. Just close by there is a beach as well. I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you haven't done so already.

Lovely family outing place to visit

Absolute peaceful escapement nearby from GTA. Just an hour drive and u can spend your whole day there sitting by yourself or barbecue weekly family while playing outdoors too. Very small beach with no swimming allowed but this was better in mid of the viral world we have. One can sit peacefully and read or can trek all the way up to the little hills to enjoy the view (I didn't).

Park and the beach are very good. Giving 3 star because of its facilities. I haven't seen this bad washroom anywhere else in Toronto. Also, there was no water fountains in the whole area. No food vendors as well, except an ice cream truck. Pack your own food.

If you looking for a peaceful calming walk alone or with your friends then this is the right place for you. Some photos of stars I clicked there.. the view was so good😍 I saw shooting star too, hope good days are coming 🤗 What a relaxing night- Stars, moon, lil cloudy and waves!

Beach is a bit dirty and very crowded. Parking is very limited. Buffers which is on the right side from the main entrance is better. Quiet secluded and nice view. Obviously not for loud parties. Not sure i would visit again

In the midst of hustle and bustle of Scarborough there is place you can enjoy a quite morning . There is nothing refreshing than watch a sunrise from the beach. Love to come here and enjoy my quite time there.

The beach itself is great ! The water is clean and beach itself isn’t to crowded. The only downside was parking . It’s extremely difficult to find parking and be prepared to wait . It’s better to arrive super early . You also need to make sure you download the parking app - which came in handy if you are visiting Toronto.

This is one of the most popular parks in Scarborough.

Can get very very busy over the weekend . There is a marina here and there are separate parking spots for truck with trailers (boats) . Picnic benches & tables are available .

I adore this beach. My experience on a Saturday: Arrive early to get the parking directly close to the beach otherwise parking available at the entrance of the park. Bathrooms available on site which is perfect. Lifeguards and big enough beach for all! Ice-cream truck was present too. The water was absolutely perfect today, and out on my paddle board the view of the Bluffs is just stunning.

I wish I could accurately describe how much joy I felt just by being here. I loved it soooooooo much! I wish I spent more time. It's great for picnics, hangouts, family time, picture and there's even a bbq area! I really loved it. Parking is paid for. Plus it gets a little windy/ cold. Be sure to go with a jacket so you don't regret and you can actually enjoy the view.

Love this beautiful park in Scarborough! So many wonderful views, unique, inspiring scenery. Unfortunately some people keep making fires and damaging grass roots. I don't think that people who do it read the reviews but maybe people who take such good care of the park do. Please can you post signs to educate people asking them to refrain from making fires? Thank you!

This place has so much potential but it is not well attended to. The beach front is gorgeous but there not much of signage to guide you around. There were several floodings and I am not sure water from the ponds are totally safe. Overall it is a lovely place which could use better management.

Had one of the best unofficial hiking adventures up the steep bluffs and saw a cute fox on the way and so many great views of colorful Fall trees. In case you wanna see videos, you can follow a YouTube Channel called 'Green Life'_Toronto.

Bluffers Beach Park is good for a picnic. Beach swimming is allowed here. It's a huge area ideal for walking, jogging and barbecuing with friends/families. Restrooms/change rooms are available. And a restaurant is present on the other side. Food trucks are also accessible here. Ambient parking space too.

Really amazing beach sandy shores excellent view. There are lots of picnic facilities with picnic tables and shaded areas. Always a busy spot and getting parking is the most tricky part. This is the perfect spot for a one day picnic. There are boat launching pads and the nearest parking to this is with location ID: 703 where there is enough trailer parking and few regular parking spots for regular vehicles. Parking payments can done using the Green parking app or using the machines located in the spots. spot 702 is the biggest of all the lots and is 10 to 15 min walk to the beach. Spot 705 is very close to the sandy beach area and gets filled faster. Plan your visit early to get the parking spot. The beach has food trucks and ice cream truck located closer to the beach and also to the picnic area. The surroundings are clean and well maintained. TTC runs services connecting to the parking area nearest to the beach.

I go to morning walk here at least once in a month. This place is always refreshing, serene and tranquil. The sound of wave and breeze really touch my soul and spellbound for a week. This place has a natural bliss; you realize it once you visit here and objerve without any bias.

Had a super wonderful day at this beach. I did hear mix reviews about this place but I think it depends on when you visit it. I visited this place in peak summer (July). It was crowded but wonderful. The water is clean and the connectivity to this place is great. Even though there were a few food trucks, one might want to pack enough food and water as I did not see many options. Had a lovely Saturday!

It was very crowded and parking was not available. We couldn't enter by car to the area park and beach parking. Parked on the main road and walked around 2 km to reach the park and the beach. It's a beautiful park, the water was very clear and could even take a dip if the water wasn't that cold.

Nice beach ⛱️🏖️ for camping 🏕️ swimming boating ⛵⛵ and pedaling Kayak.. family fun, tent barbecue also clean and safe beautiful beach.

Beautiful property with a number of different areas. There is a a beautiful sandy beach, a walking & jogging trail, the Bluffers Restaurant and Dogfish Pub downstairs the restaurant right on the marina as well as access to the Scarborough Bluffs. The property is really beautiful in the winter, however you may not be able to spend very long as it gets really cold being next to the water. Lastly, the restrooms are closed in winter so keep that in mind.

I hadn't been here in 30 yrs, I forgot how nice it was, with the marina, the beach and all those people having fun eating and spending time with family,also a decent trail for those who want to walk and people watch

This beach is one of the most beautiful beach in Ontario. Also the way is spectacular and the view from the top too!! It has the wonderful views in spring and winter. Worth to visit it. It also has the yacht 🛥 club and park.

Nice place for a barbeque laced summer weekend. It allows and has specified BBQ points. Clear water with least algal bloom. Constant presence of security van moving around, gives you sense of peace at an otherwise busy place. The more you go towards twin ear shaped Peninsula, the more you enjoy lake, greenery and lots of angles for photography.

Continuing my sprint & swift trips to locations around Etobicoke, this weekend happens a stroll on Bluffers beach. @ Scarborough, the descend drive lends a welcoming picturesque view, colourful depending on time and season of your visit. Another beach and park location that calls for a personal visit as not enough words to describe the same. A few photos may suffice and fill the void presently. Alike humber bay , this too is another end of same shoreside but distinct in offshore activities. Lots of yatch activities present and wide span both for walk and natural picturesque photography. Short of time, didn’t visit the beach side but roamed around the rocky coastline and local birds abode nearby. Enjoy.

It’s wonderful experience to be here but sadden you see the cleanliness of beach. People should take their responsibility to clean it at the same time bad experience with the police who is busy with just issuing tickets to public, they have arrangement of the booking online but no arrangement to when a person is leaving. Should have good arrangement of Parking.

I decided to visit Scarborough Bluffer's Park this Easter Weekend and it was absolutely worth visiting. We were lucky to find parking. The view of pristine beach 🏖️, towering cliffs 🏞️, clear water 🌊 makes this a must-visit destination. I absolutely loved being here. It is almost impossible to find parking in summer s because of the beautiful beach and warm weather so be mindful of that. Spring is the best time to visit this destination because the weather is still a little cold so it is for us to get the parking.

Bluffers Park Scarborough is one of the fantastic picnic / family outing place on the shores of Lake Ontario. Equipped with picnic area, lawns, walk way, trail, beach, etc and the bluffs around. It is a place where you can spend and enjoy long time either with family, friends or even alone. The experience is different in different seasons and is enjoyable any time. There are also lot of photo opportunities for those interested. A must visit place, I would say; and surely once you go there, you will visit again and again.

It is a beautiful shore and view from the main beach area and the park area. There is also different view from the boat launch area restaurant side which has lots of rocks and boulders. We have been here long time ago until this past week. We tried on a weekend but we could not even enter any parking lot because they were full and roads were closed by cops. Then we tried to go on a weekday after work (around 6 pm) and unfortunately all parking lot entrance were closed. We were disheartened. Then we parked on the parking lot road for just about a few minutes to take some pictures from the restaurant side. One trick I was told to find space in parking (and free) is to go on a weekday instead of weekends if you have time. However, the beauty is more soothing during sunset. A must see for visitors and locals for sure. Note: I have given 5 out of 5 because of the beauty even though parking is a challenge here.

Lively place. Good for family/friends outings. There are few beach activities. But one needs to be careful about the cliff which is dangerous, keep yourself away from it. Other issue is limited parking spots and the parking is not free.

Fun place for winter walks

Seen a weird creeper there.

I like this beach better about 5 years ago when that you could actually drive down to beachpoint Promenade through the roundabout conservation has really messed up

Beautiful sunset

They have done a lot of work to make it more easily accessible. This place looks great!

Nice walk

Calming water

It was relatively clean Good sand, and peaceful

Best secret beach in Toronto

Very beautiful, nice stripe of beach, the pier is very nice to sit and watch the boats.

Gr8 place to relax and breathe some fresh air

West shore baby

This is a fantastic area. It deserves 5 stars. Only problems is cigarette butts everywhere and the view of the nuke.

Love it except you can no longer go all the way down the road to be almost directly on the beach. Not fair to handicap people who can't walk all the way down thru the gated area.

Nice day for a walk along the beach!

Nice little beach. The view of the nuclear power plant is a bit concerning and an eye sore but all in all its great little spot. Gets busy sometimes so there isn't always room for parking. Nice spot though

Nice beach and quiet :) Very close to Toronto

Your dog will love you for it. A nice walk at the beach, make your way out to the lighthouse at the end of the pier. Maybe you'll find the treasure I buried there.

Such a beautiful sandy beach. We have always preferred it to the east beach at Frenchman’s. A lot of people say its a lovely secret in Pickering but its clear since the construction that with the new parking and picnic area this place will soon be even more busy than it already is! Just hoping they build some nice washrooms instead of the porter-loos and also that they allow a nice food truck or a mobile coffee shop to frequent the place too!

Clean quiet beach. Long shoreline. Very quick and easy access to launch any watercraft. Lots of parking avaiable

It's a pretty beach as long as you don't look at the power plant!

Good

Great day. Unfortunately couldn't access part of the park due to construction. Took another route and were amazed by the plants and trees. Discovered a beach that we did not know was there. Great place to go with family and picnics

Always beautiful. Great for taking time to relax. Lots to see and explore. Great beach.

Clean beach, gooood fishing experience for newbies.

Totally nice

Sandy beach on the west side of Frenchman's bay. Lots of parking.

Great trail !

Another great place in Pickering to go for a walk, or just sit and relax. Even the power plant looks great all lit up.

That place was amazing for tourist, enjoy summer, cycling and more fun on the egde of sea

Beach is gone

Bluffs are eroding but still looks grand. The upgrades to the park are great. Much better than what it looked like 30 years ago when I lived in Scarborough.

Best for walk

Good place to pass excellent afternoon with families

So beautiful and relaxing!

Great views of the lake

Nice Walk!

Hope beach is more well maintained, nice place to go in Pickering.

My private beach close to the city😊

Just so relaxing, peaceful listening to the waves and great for getting in those extra steps and reading a book

Great beach to take a nice long walk while getting your feet wet. Nice hidden gem in Pickering.
