Best places: Beaches in Golden Horseshoe

Vibrant in warm weather, this wide, curved beach offers swimming, volleyball courts & picnic areas.

👍👍 2022 June 4.5★ A very nice beach with amazing soft sands and fairly clean waters. Backdrop of the bluffs gives this place a great view to enjoy the city. Given the size and how busy this beach is, it's kept quite clean. Kudos to the city staff for keeping it this way. Parking is limited and may onl...

Lakefront park popular for kiteboarding & windsurfing, with an off-leash dog area.

👍👍 very nice and clean and close to public transportation

Lakefront & sandy river-mouth swimming beach backed by wetlands, a park & trail.

No swimming is allowed at this urban beach park with loungers & umbrellas in an industrial setting.

👍👍 Centre Island, positioned between Ward's Island and Hanlan's Point, is the central attraction among Toronto's three primary Toronto Island destinations. Boats frequently travel to Centre Island because it's the most popular spot. Here, you'll discover lovely fountains, well-kept gardens, Centervill...

👍👍 Nice Picnic place in just few minutes drive from city. Lots of benches to sit. Area can be best setups for BBQ. Rstaurant in the park(not sure if in service). Shallow water for swimming. ⛱ Lifeguard available on site. Hard to find parking during peak times on weekends.

👍👍 It is a beautiful and welcoming place, I think it is the only beach that allows you to park on the beach, this is beautiful because there are so many people who play their music, dance and have fun. I only saw such a beautiful thing when I visited South America. The beach is clean there was a bit o...

👍👍 Really nice area by the lake to hangout at on a nice day. Man made sandy beach with some chairs and umbrellas available on a first come basis. There are also plenty of concrete bench areas in the area and a lake front walk way to enjoy and take some nice pictures at.

👍👍 This beach was very nice! Went with my boyfriend, and friends. We had a blast! The water was super nice temperature, was not too crowded and they are still making sure everyone is still socially distanced during these wild times! $10 per adult was not bad! We had an amazing day full of sunshine, swi...

👍👍 The place has some amazing views of pebbles. Early morning sunrise is the best time to go. It gives a very private beach vibe, coz there is very little crowd.

👍👍 Lovely scenic walk. Flat and easy stroll. Free parking. But I wouldn’t call it a beach. Nice to relax on the bench and hear the waves hit the shore. Magnificent sunset, you’ll also catch some ships or boats sailing by. It’s beside golf course and there are signs to watch out for balls flying

👍👍 It is the nicest beach on Centre Island if you're a swimmer. Clothing is mandatory and the buoys set up make it look like a proper beach (I am from B.C.). We didn't swim, but we saw lots of families playing in the water. It is sand rather than the plethora of rocks and boulders by the beach.

👍 Pros: close to the city, nice restaurant right on the beach for food and drinks. Nice spot for sunset (can’t really see the sun go down but the sky turns a nice colour). Beach is shallow for a good stretch, very little wave thanks to the barrier break water, great for kids. Cons: most stretch has f...

Swimmable sandy beach where the Rouge River & Lake Ontario meet, with a nearby walking trail.

Local beach & walking spot in a crescent-shaped bay known for its shallow waters & scenic environs.
